Our 1944 H Farmall made during WWII is in constant use at our farm. Bought new by a neighbor, then bought by another neighbor and we bought it from that neighbor it has been in this neighborhood all it's life. As long as I take good care of it the H will still be in use long after I'm gone. I have videos of the H in use on my TH-cam channel if you want to see it in action. We also have a 1942 WC Allis Chalmers that my grandpa bought new during the war. It came in on steel wheels, rubber was scarce, and Grandpa took the rubber tires off the 1938 WC Allis that he traded in on the 42 and put them on the 42 WC
As a lifelong machinist/industrial guy, just looking at the equipment fascinates me. There are no microprocessors, just relay logic and mechanical cam/timing. Think about engineering that ... SMART people.
Yeah CNC machines are good and can do more than most other machines but when you want to hire someone to run a manual machine they are completely lost. I call them button pushers. Cause that's all they know.
Chris Talbert, I agree with you. I think those folks were much smarter than the people of today, learning everything on a computer, although there's still much to learn.

My Dad was too young for WWII. Dad and his friends, having grown up during the depression were about 5' 6" and weighed 98 pounds soaking wet. Dad's first job in the summer of 43 at the age of 14 was unloading 100 pound sacks of Flour and Sugar from Boxcars that reached 120 f during the day. The bags weighed more than he did. In the summer of 44 he and his high school buddies got jobs at the Sherman-Williams paint factory in town. It was a 6 story building where they were making Gray Grip-Deck Paint for the Navy. The Paint after mixing with sand was moved in huge wheeled vats down to the canning line on the first floor by the standard Wooden-Gated Cargo Elevators. Dad and his friends, having grown up during the depression were about 5' 6" and weighed 98 pounds soaking wet. Their first job on the first day at work was to move the heavily filled vats from the third floor down to the first floor for canning. It took four of them just to get the vats moving. The first few went Okay but on the fifth vat they got a little cocky and over zealous in their pushing. They didn't see that the Cargo Elevator was not there when they got the vat moving. They tried their hardest to stop the vat but the speed and momentum it had picked up was just too great. As they yelled warnings the vat crashed through the Wooden Gate and dropped the four floors to the bottom of the elevator shaft in the basement. There was a sound as if a bomb had exploded and gray paint shot up the elevator shaft, Blew the top off the shaft and covered everything in it's path. Needless to say they were taken off the vats permanently. In the late 60's they were tearing down the old paint factory and Dad took me out to the Gray Painted Elevator Shaft that had been uncovered by the Demolition and told me this story. Dad was old enough for Korea.
A C&W star once sang a song about the company (WAY after WW2-LOL.) I went for my Illinois medical license (which I never used) to Springfield, back in 2002. I had it All planned...the airplane ticket, the Hotel Downtown-near the licensing board. Then-the fine June day came and there was severe weather-including twisters. Flew from Detroit, detoured to Evansville, then St. Louis. Groundstop. Had to spend the night at an expensive Hotel near the Arch. Flight barely got to Springfield on time...And there was a tractor convention(!) No rental cars, had to hope a cab to Downtown. Got the license. WHEW! Would have been better off with Amtrak.

How strange this post came up on my timeline. Not 3 hours ago I posted in a comment that i owned a fine parkerized ww2 era 1911 pistol made by International Harvester.
i used to know all these blindfolded...but now...anyway the taillights, rear quarter windows, wheel wells, front fenders and speed lines on the rear fenders are wrong for Cadillac but right for Oldsmobile or Buick.
In the war if I had to choose between a production factory or army,navy,airforce. I reckon I would go for the factory or farm. Nobody shooting at you in a factory.
At 19:25 there's 6-barrel lathe turret something or other that strongly resembles a GAU-8 autocannon as installed in an A-10 airplane. I wonder why nobody thought in WW2 to produce such a weapon.
International Harvester went out of business in 1985. Some divisions were bought by various companies, the trucks became Navistar International, tractors were bought by Case becoming Case IH, construction equipment became International Hough or Dresser, Cub Cadet lawn and garden tractors became its own company with same name.
Had me stumped too, until I read about the 37mm Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon. Guess the GAU 8 in the Warthog must be an evolution of the general idea. If you have the room and the clams, you can evidently have a genuine Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon for yourself. Ain't America Great? th-cam.com/video/cQEs6i4fwLA/w-d-xo.html
Now that I look at this again I'm not sure it's a revolving cannon at all. The narration is about the 37mm gun and I think this piece of machinery may be working on the barrel. It just looks like a gatling gun -- but not might be anything of the sort. It says it's a "six bar screw machine".
I believe that the confusion stems from an unfortunate juxtaposition of the narration at that point. We had the larger version of these machines at NTN Bower when I worked there in the late 1980's. We used them for the initial machining of roller bearing races, which were machined from steel tube stock. The machine is fitted with six machining stations, each one performing a different narrowly-scoped machining function. (Remember, this is not CNC machining; a given station can only perform one or a few similar mechanically-driven functions, and then the stock has to be moved to a differently-configured station for the next machining operation.) All machining operations were simultaneous, powered by the same motor and drive train. All six stations shared the same chamber for coolant and chip management. As the stock was rotated, a different machining operation was conducted on each tube simultaneously. Then, the fixture was rotated to advance all the stock to the next machining station in the loop, until a given tube had been to all stations. At the last station, the finished part was cut off and dropped into a collection bin. From there, the parts were taken to other stations in the plant where the remaining heat treating, grinding, and polishing steps were performed. In this video's shot, we are looking at the back end of the machine. The tubes that looks like Gatling gun barrels, are simply the machine's rotating carriage assembly that supports the weight of the tube stock and holds it in alignment as it is fed into the machine, much like a pencil is fed into a pencil sharpener. The business end of the machine is at the far end. For doubters, please note the large quantity of massive thick cast iron parts. If this were a weapon, it would be far too heavy to deploy anywhere. Also note the coolant and chip collection trays, and the coolant/chip safety shields. Those of us who have worked around metal lathes are taught early that proper chip breakage is very important. Machining tools are actually designed to break the cut-off metal into small chips as the metal is removed from the piece. Otherwise, you get tightly-coiled hot razor-sharp spring-like cutoffs whipping around, a VERY dangerous situation. And finally, as the narration stated, they were making ammunition. Note the most obvious clue, the vast quantities of small machined parts sitting all around the work station. Those are partially-machined rounds of ammunition, probably the output of this machine. You don't make weapons in the same area where you make their ammunition.

Filmmakers, cartoonists and other storytellers have used him as a character to represent the current state of the American internal spirit. As a character, he acts for us and because of us instead of in spite of us. The speech at the end... Had it been done today, the word "god" would have been shoved in between every other word...
