Ada's Beast, our newest child hauler, 1971 1210 Traveall

[Scoutmaster1]

Here's the next money pit, I mean IH, I just picked up for my early birthday present to myself. The kids owe me big...if they'd quit having grandkids I wouldn't need a bigger IH. Hopefully we never have to buy back the 10 door Travelall stageway airporter Mike sold to a fire dept. In Colorado.

Mike wrote out the specs, 1971 Travelall custom, 1210 4 x 2, showing 49,000 + on the odometer, from wear and tear we think it's correct. Pedal wear was minimal. Motor: 392, t-34 transmission, Dana 60 rear 4.10 gears, IH heavy duty tow package with jr. West coast tow mirrors, 11" clutch, 19 gallon stock tank, 16 gallon reserve, 30 gallon reserve= 65 gallons or $200+/- to fill them up. Colors are stock alpine white top and bottom,wood grain is under the black paint, line setting ticket is two pages!

We brought it home this weekend after buying it from dennis and christine in madera, CA, only 20 miles from where we picked up old blue 10 years ago.

Thanks for putting the beast to bed to night son son(rick) .

We want to welcome my son in law and family; shane, isaac, caleb and jenny. We'll see you at our next IH show in dobbins. Enjoy blue, you didn't have to wait for me to die, you can take your sticky note now .

Love Mom.

The 1210 is a plain old two door model, (no t'ette!)... But the 29 foot unit that drug along behind it May have a buncha doors if ya count the storage bays...it's supposed ta be a komfort!
