BC Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Joe Dewar aka catkom3 on here used to drive one and he claimed they were the best motor on the road. Mind you being over six foot tall he liked them for headroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 bill it's a nice motor to drive & contrary to belief , they dont feel that big once yer driving them , it's not till an XF or a FH come alongside you 'feel' the difference , i think the cab suspension can be set to how you want it , i didn't find the roll too badd on this one & yes it has a flat floor but the merc a few pages back also had one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older magnums were bad for cab roll apparently. Although the step arrangement isnt the best on a wet windy night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 that ih52 on the scraper had a low cab... fab topic this well he's only a short farmer ;D think he may have some access issues with some of the older stone/brick built buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 More great finds there. The Deutz and DB are a real credit to the farmer and almost unique to find in such a condition on a livestock farm and in regular use. The International 52 as you call it is actually a 454, the 52 refers to the tractors horsepower. The lowered cab is undoubtedly for scrapping in low buildings and is well done complete with side windows and windscreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 blimey he must be a short farmer to get into that ih marcus, would be easier to remove the cab to be honest if hieght isthat much of an issue for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess... it's a standard model with that frame having been grafted on afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
