September News from IH Parts America
August was a busy month for the IHPA team! Jeff & Mike(some of you know him on the parts phone as Decker) attended the Harvester Homecoming in Fort Wayne Indiana. See some pictures of the event below. The sales team were busy getting parts out the door, and the guys in the shop have been busy working on customer projects and new part production. See below for the latest build that has gone out the door.
This month we are preparing for the 2022 Ultimate Adventure! This will be Jeff's fourth (and Zaed’s third) UA and both are super excited to be going as if it were their first time. Jeff has been hard at work prepping Hideous for what is sure to be a challenging week of wheeling. More on Hideous and UA2022 below.
Also we have been hard at work preparing for the International Harvester Sierra Fall Rallye. Below you will find another update on the event.

And while we have your attention, a reminder that we will be closed Monday, September 5thto honor the Labor Day Holiday. | |
It is Ultimate Adventure time, and we are taking Hideous, our 1952 International ‘Trout’ L-110 Series pickup, for its second UA. As mentioned above, Jeff has been going thru Hideous servicing some components, and rebuilding others. The transmission had started to get a pretty good whine, and once torn down, a bad input shaft bearing was discovered and replaced. The Atlas transfer case and rear Dana Ultimate 60 axle got fresh Swepco lube, and the K&N air filter has been serviced. Our driveline shop as a precaution rebuilt the rear driveshaft after discovering a damaged slip yoke. New 40” Milestar Patagonia M/T02 tires have been mounted. And for better articulation, a set of custom made Alcan leafsprings with orbit eyes have been installed. | |
Check in day for the event is Saturday, September 24thwith the actual adventure taking place between Sunday the 25ththru the following Saturday, October 1st. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for daily updates starting with the drive out to the starting point of the event and during the weeklong adventure. Where are we going this year? Well, you’ll just have to stay tuned in to find out. | |
Registration for the 2022 IHSFR is ongoing, and we appreciate everyone who has thus far got in their information and payment! In case you missed it, you can now register or sponsor on the IHPA online store. We have been getting in more registrations thru the website than in the mail due to how easy it is. So if you prefer to sign up that way click on the image above and head to the IHSFR category of our online store to get easily registered.
New for this year are many more vehicle classes. Due to the amount and variety of vehicles we had last year, it only made sense to open up more judging classes. We are looking forward to this year’s event and hope to see you there!

If you are following us on Facebook or Instagram, you have been able to watch this project progress over the last couple months.

IH Parts America was a proud sponsor of the 4th Annual Harvester Homecoming. As mentioned at the top of our newsletter, Jeff & Mike headed out to Fort Wayne, Indiana for the event that was held August 5th and 6th at the old engineering building on Meyer Rd.
It was great to be out there again after missing last year’s event. The shows coordinator, Ryan Duvall, has done a wonderful job of bringing in exhibits to the old engineering building to look at. And it was an added bonus to meet the CEO of the future Scout electric vehicle brand, Scott Keogh. Yes that’s right, there is going to be a Scout in the very near future, and it is going to be electric.
