Default IHCs in North America ?

Lars,

I can offer no proof but have been told that IH had a halftrack assembly factory located in Hamilton, Ontario,Canada so I would assume that some/most of your 2000+ were kept in Canada for training purposes ? One of mine did return from Europe but I don't know the service history of the other.

I do have a photo of an ex-Cdn IHC departing Levy's scrapyard here in Toronto, bound for Israel, dated 1958.

IHCs do turn up in the US occassionally so I would assume that some were kept for evaluation and training purposes.

Sorry that I can only speculate rather than providing hard facts.

Robert in Toronto
