Yellow International with FEL

Yesterday my long time shooting buddy asked if I could look at some dead trees where he rents an apartment. I said sure. When I got there I said lets go get a closer look. When we got back to the trees, I saw a yellow blob covered with Honeysuckle. Walking over to look at it I tripped on something, pulled more vines back and it was angle iron track. Followed the track to an angle iron tower with a plastic wheel barrow bucket covering it. Looked under it, turned out to be a band saw mill. I asked what else was under all the vines and he pointed to one pile and said a Model A chassis, and behind the tractor, and said a 1960's Iso Revolta. I had to do a search, never heard of an Iso. Turned out it's an Italian sports car with a Corvette 427 in it. After coming down from a junk hunters high, he introduced me to his landlord, and told him I was interested in his old tractor. The landlord said he called a scrap guy to come get it, but scrap is so low he never came. I think he will give me the tractor. I'd happily give him scrap value for it. The tractor is yellow like an industrial, 4 cylinder gas, FEL and 3 point. Looks a little like my old Ford 641, kind of squat and rounded. A little bigger, at least the size of my Massey 135. The bucket was set down when parked, so the rods on the cylinders are collapsed, and the little that is showing is bright chrome, no rust. We talked about so much stuff I forgot to ask what year and model it was? Sent my buddy a text to get the details for me. Only bad thing is it looks like a big limb fell across the hood and bent it down to the engine. As soon as I can I'll get some pics posted. From the poor description, any guess what this tractor might be? I was trying to find some possible models to look up on Tractor Data to see pics. Thanks, Joe.

there were 250A, and 3414 industrials that were yellow. I'm sure there were others, but I'm not coming up with the models.

Thanks, it actually looks kind of like a 3414. I had to pull so many vines off it was hard to tell, and with the hood smashed in, that doesn't help. My buddy and his landlord are both single and tend to stay up late and get up late, at least by my standards. Can't wait to find what else is hidden under all of the vines.

What about the Model A anything there?

He said it was just the chassis, there were so many vines over it I couldn't even see it.

And what about the 427!

Better hurry, scrape has gone up 20.00 this week.

The owner is 89 years old and he bought the car brand new and drove it till it died. If he lets me have it, or broker a sale of it, I would target another Iso Revolta owner. They only made 600 of these cars over the several years they made them. If this one can be documented as a Revolta motor, it would have more value to them. To me, it's just another Chevy motor. I guess 427's haven't been made in a while so maybe it would date code correct for a Vette. I'll keep everyone posted on all the stuff under the vines, as I dig it out.

For those interested in some of the junk at my friends landlords house. The Model frame is my friends and it's just the bare frame. He does not want to sell it. For those interested in the Iso Revolta with the Corvette engine. he sold it to a guy in Arizona, it's been paid for, but still sitting in the woods.

That was Model A frame.

OK, now for the tractor. I pulled some vines off and took some pics. It's an International Industrial 340, with a FEL, and 5 speed trans. As soon as my cell charges back up I'll post the pics. It is a 4 cylinder gas. The hood is crushed where a limb fell on it. I've seen tractors in worse shape brought back to life. I can probably get it for a couple hundred dollars. Is it worth putting money into?

Sorry, I don't know why the pics came out giant, have never done that before, and I don't know how to fix.

I believe it is a 340 Industrial (Same as a 340 Utility, except for the heavy duty grille). The model emblem is in the last picture on the side panel near the front.

Yep, I saw the 340 emblem when I pulled the weeds off, and it does say Industrial across the front , above the grill. I'm going to try and post another pic and see if I can get it down to size.
