It was almost as hard to crank as the old John Deere L. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] The first half of the year, I drove morning and evening and had the oldest bus in the fleet; a 1952 International, but the second half of the year, I only drove an afternoon route and had the newest bus in the fleet; a 1957 International. They called them 72 passenger busses, but of course that was with 3 little kids in each seat. And of course back then I hauled all 12 grades together; not like modern times for sure.
