This was one of the best Christmases I've ever had. Mom and Dad got me a pedal tractor at age 5 (I think). I can still remember seeing the irregular shaped package under the tree and opening it up to finding this
A 86 series IH.
My brothers and sister helped me wear it out.
In the winter of 09 (?) I dug it out of the barn and set work on restoring it. New paint, decals, seat, steering wheel, wheels, etc.
I'm proud of the job I did on it and I'm still glad I've got it. I got the parts from C. Burkholder in Onsted MI. (may he and his wife rest in peace.)
