Lugging and possibly worn hanger bearing, and engine mounts, making it more noticeable.

I grew up in the drilling industry here in WV, so there was always a hill to climb somewhere.
Uncle Lester had a 1960 IH B170 with a 392 V8 / 5spd / 2spd. Had a Bucyrus Erie 21W drilling rig mounted on it. On a hard pull the engine would pull down to the point the cab would start vibrating and ringing, it would nearly make your head hurt!
I’m sure others have experienced the same from years gone by…Cattleman84 and MartinFromBC Thank this. -
