1946 International IA

I originally bought the tractor for the engine until realizing that it had a foot throttle and the vin matched the engine. Looking around and asking questions to some friends about it and they said it was an industrial tractor. So my father and I decided to take it apart piece by piece and reassemble from the ground up. 

A lot of the parts that nobody makes (the throttle linkage to the foot throttle) came from LandM tractor salvage in Pennsylvania. But 1-½ years later it runs and drives. Thanks for all the parts from Steiner Tractor Parts to help us rebuild this 1946 International IA.
