Running your portable generator when it’s raining or in wet conditions without proper protection (generator cover, steel enclosure or pop-up canopy) will cause significant damage to your machine. Many Champion generators also feature Cold Start technology, which ensures that the engines are always able to start up quickly even in cold weather.
For 1963, International introduced the heavier-duty Fleetstar, a short-hood conventional slotted between the Loadstar and the heavier-duty R and V-Line conventionals. While no longer serving as a comprehensive model range, the Loadstar Champion Power Equipment shared its cab with the A-series pickup truck ; as a cowled chassis, the Loadstar was produced for bus use . Sharing only its name with its conventional-cab namesake, the Loadstar CO was a low-cab COE (with a forward-tilting cab).
IH dominated the market through the 1950s despite stiff competition from Ford, Allis Chalmers, Massey Ferguson and John Deere. As a leader in the lawn & garden, outdoor power, and tool industry, our reputation has been built on our ability to deliver products of the highest quality from the industry’s top manufacturers. We work closely with all Champion Power Equipment of our manufacturers to deliver those products on-time, every day.

A recent trial run has confirmed I have made the right decision to acquire a “Champion” product.
Powered by a horizontally opposed, air-cooled twin around 15 hp , it was a right-hand-drive model popular in rural areas for high ground clearance on the poor roads typical of the era. The Auto Wagon was renamed the Motor Truck in 1910, and was a forerunner to the successful modern pickup truck. They were called IHC until 1914, when the ‘International’ name was first applied. The Electrall system was introduced in 1954; it was a short-lived attempt to market electrically operated farm equipment and accessories.
The Scout, first introduced in 1961, is a small, two-door SUV, similar to a Jeep. In 1972, the Scout became the Scout II, and in 1974, Dana 44 axles, power steering, and power disc brakes became standard. After the Light Line pickups and Travelall were discontinued in 1975, the Scout Traveler and Terra became available, both with a longer wheelbase than a standard Scout II.
