I see an old International 4700 hiding under the aft section of that airplane!

If you want it, Ford will make it for you.

Is that a F700 beside the yellow front end loader? Didn't see any 9N tugs.

That is indeed an F650 or F750, one of the three Fords I spotted.

The baggage loaders MIGHT have a 300 or 4.2 in them.

9N tugs--never seen one in use at a big airport. Burbank had these:

Global GSE - Baggage Tractors - Tiger, TIGER TC-50 TOW TRACTOR

and these:

Global GSE - Baggage Tractors - Tug, TUG MA-50 BAGGAGE TRACTOR

and some low profile electrics.

We were just towing container dollies and baggage carts. The airplane needed one of these:

Only 268 horse, 774 torque, hardly enough for a 3/4 ton pickup, I don't know how they move a big airplane.

Not much has changed in the little ones:
