Otto -- At some point prior to our purchase of the farm, someone accidentally ripped the power line off the side of the barn with a raised batwing mower.
John -- Yes, that's the '73 IH 1310 (1-ton) dump we bought from John Vannatta (an almost neighbor back in MD, old friend and a past national president of ATHS). Its a truck Peggy and I have know for 20 years and always liked. When he offered it to us, Peggy said "buy it." My hands were tied at that point. It's a really fun truck and earns its keep here on the farm The bed is an original Aristocrat. The Aristocrat factory was next to the IH plant and IH sourced bodies from them. Originally, the bed had no headache rack. This one was added during the restoration. The hoist is hydraulic and PTO driven.
