The story

The Farmall C was a small two-plough row-crop tractor from International Harvester, launched in 1948. It grew out of the Farmall B but was larger and more adaptable.

The driver's seat, which sat to one side on the B, was moved to the centre, and bigger wheels allowed a straight rear axle that could be set to many widths. The C was heavier and stronger than the B and had hydraulics from the start.

Later it was renamed and updated as the Super C, 200, 230 and 240, and these close relatives stayed in production until 1962.

Did you knowThe C moved the driver from the Farmall B's offset seat to a central position.
