Default End of Era

1980s was very dark times for IH.UAW strike against IH in 1979.Very few 82 series was built by UAW locals 817,1336,2138 and 2236 at Louisville Works.Some units during the strike were built by office employees.MattG...CCC built more Reds than IH at the new Brownsville ,TN plant. Last unit that rolled off the line in Loiusville June 1981 I think was a 782and I had a archive photo of that unit. But I do have a pic of the last tractor built at the Farmall plant.
