 I'm pretty certain both engines were made by IHC.  I know that some Ontario municipalities used these on their fleets in the 50's.

Ack!! Sacrilege!! Case and IHC were completely different entities until the late-mid 70's.  Although Case did design the 5.9 diesel engine that now bears the Cummins badge.
I remember one of those fugly old Hough loaders (I thought it had to be homemade!) from when I was a kid and grandad would take me along on one of his monthly trips to town. We would walk past the coal tipple, where the old KB7 IHC trucks were loaded.

40 years ago, when we reached the paved(tar and chip) road we might have walked 50 feet before someone would pick us up. Back then, out in the deep weeds, everybody knew everybody and helped each other.

Hey, small universe.  I used to live live on that very same planet as you!  Somewhere along the timeline Scotty must have beamed a bunch of us off world to this place.  Nothing at all like the planet we used to live on.  You could trust people more there and feel more secure.  People were brought up with the notion that respect for others was the path to receiving respect from others in return.  That isn't important where we live now.  Here everyone lives in fear of their neighbors.

Well I'm wondering now who made the engines in my two machines.  So far I know what planet they were made on.  ;)
