160 pages. An illustrated history of Payline, IH's line of construction equipment that included the classic Payloader. To many people, a wheel loader is a Payloader, thanks to the dominance of the classic rubber tyred, hydraulic front-end loader first developed by the Frank G Hough company in 1944. When International Harvester acquired Hough and combined it with it's struggling 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.
