Coal Scuttle/Shovel nose trucks

We have been working on a couple of documents lately and this one is now ready to distribute.

If you know anyone that has one of these trucks if you could print this off and hand it to them that would be fantastic.



We are starting with the coal scuttle trucks but will move onto the other trucks later.
We are also looking into a possible web site for owners of these trucks. But that is only in the very early pre planning stage.
Have been in email contact with Jim so as we do not step on anyone's toes. Jim is fully supportive and has said anything he can do to help just ask.

Nice work Trevor..

Jim

Thankyou for all your support and without your forethought this wonderful site would not be here and I would never have meet the people I am glad to call my mates.

A copy of this letter is going to be distributed by ATHS Australian Chapter and they are also contacting ATHS America to see if they can help as well. Just hope we can make this happen as I know from my experience when you first find one of these old girls its getting to know people who can help is one of the hardest things.
The restorations the easy part. LOL

We are looking at getting some Hood Retainers made for these trucks and just wondering if anyone needs any, have sent an email out to all on my list but just in case I missed you here it is.

Hey Trevor, this last photo of the Aussie Model H has a different hood, the usual International is missing and instead is the older IHC logo. Interesting, can you say if it is painted on or embossed? MM

Will ask the question, hadn't noticed that before your eyes must be better than mine.

International Harvester Club of Australia has placed our introduction sheet on the back cover of this months Interview.

Just got some pictures sent to me of two very nice trucks located in Victoria Australia. Thanks to the article on the back page of the interview magazine.

Both trucks have the shorter hoods (bonnets) so they are not G or L's. The Green one has the heavier front spring hanger on rear axle spring so looks to be a model K. It also has the strait firewall so I think it must be an early truck probably 1918 or 1919. The Black truck the front wheels are fairly wide so thinking it must be an F or K or their later version the 31 or 41. MM
