The Man Who's Saving International Harvester

Our guest this week on the West of Tulsa Show is Dan Hayes, owner of Binder Boneyard, an International Harvester repair and restoration shop located just north of Bend, Oregon. Dan talks about the meaning behind the name, his love for International Harvester and it's colorful history and his dream of someday building an IH Museum using the original plans from the 1940's. If he builds it, will the International Harvester faithful come to see it?

Dan also talks about his nightmare trip from Oregon to California and then south of the border to compete in the NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally. The trip through Mexico turned out to be beautiful and scary at the same time.
