SynopsisAn illustrated history of PayLine, International Harvester's line of construction equipment that included the classic PayLoader., When International Harvester acquired Hough and combined it with its struggling construction equipment division in 1974, Payline was born. This book tells Payline's story, which marked the high point of International Harvester's foray into construction equipment., To many people, a wheel loader is a PayLoader, thanks to the dominance of the classic rubber-tired, hydraulic front-end loader first developed by the Frank G. Hough company in 1944. When International Harvester acquired Hough and combined it with its struggling construction equipment division in 1974, PayLine was born, with the PayLoader as its signature machine. This book tells the story of PayLine, which marked the high point of International Harvester's foray into construction equipment. Oscar H. Will III chronicles the company's early efforts, its success with machines ranging from the PayLoader to the PayHauler, and its expansion right up to its sale to Dresser Industries in 1982. With attention to each particular model, including history, specifications, market position, and color photographs of these mighty machines at work, this book is a fitting tribute to International Harvester's giants in the earth, and a critical chapter in the story of American industry.
