International Harvester tractor? Use? pictures? how many built?

[Alex van de Wetering]

Hi guys,

The nephew of a friend of mine, has recently bought an International Harvester tractor. He is looking for some information about the use of this vehicle.
What were they used for? Where did they use the large winch for? How many were built? Are there any period pictures of these vehicles? Is it a WW2 model-type still produced in the 50's or is it a real 50's design?

Some info:
IHC Chicago Illinois
Stocklistnr.: 78-8070.300-600
US registrationnr. : 865-877
Date: 18-01-1951

The winch is a Lufkin model 180-1 Line pull 125.000
