Yes it is! I should have put this in the title but, this a prototype tractor built in the early 1980's ,it also was not a full powershift yet. It was to come later to be known as the Magnum. This was NEVER a production run IH. When case bought IH out they changed the engine,hood, frame rails and some misc styling. When this was built its code name was the tx148. Pretty darn cool though! Would love to see Ken Updike do a book on this!
