Saw an article on the Farmall H in Hemming's Motor News.
It said the IH emblem was a representation of a guy on a tractor.
Does anyone know if this is a known fact or an urban legend?

I believe Raymond Lowery(sp?) designed that logo for IH. I have always taken it as fact.
'41 A, '49 Cub, '58 LoBoy,'61 LoBoy, way to many attachments, '22 Centerdoor Sedan, '24 Ford T Roadster, '25 Ford TT, '24 C Cab, '13 Touring, '24 Model T Snowmobile, '26 Touring

The designer was Raymond Loewy. He designed many industrial logos and many logos that you would recognize today.
The IH design being representative of a man on a tractor is pretty much the accepted opinion.
If you run a web search, you will find Loewy's "official" website here:

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
