We got the chance to speak to Richard Marshall at the 28th National Red Power Round Up in Des Moines, Iowa in June 2017. Richard was an International Harvester salesman for the Gordon Hansen Company Ltd. in Rio Vista, CA in the 1970s, and sold the first IH Axial Flow Combine in California, which was one of the first 19 hand-built units produced for sale.

 

In this video, RIchard shares great stories about the dealership as far back as the 1930s, and some memories about the history of the IH Company and his dealership during the hardships of the 1980’s.
