Don't have a picture, but I owned and used a 424 for about 4 years. Got rid of it because I had the opportunity to trade up. Mine was gas with no power steering, but had live PTO, which I think was optional. The live PTO works off a two stage clutch. Push the clutch to the first detent and the tractor wheels disengage. Push it all the way down and the PTO disengages. The 424 is 36 PTO HP, low profile utility type tractor. I used mine mostly with a rotary cutter (bush hog) and utility work. It easily handled a 6 ft rotary cutter in heavy grass. It always amazed me the power it had. As i recall, it had 8 speeds and I usually worked in high range first, which oddly was slower than low range 4th. Under a heavy load, used plenty of fuel. The Kobuta diesel I have now uses about 1/2 the fuel that the 424 used when bush hogging. Also, had to fix the radiator on the 424 and the 3 pt lift had to have a new piston in the cylinder. Otherwise excellent service and a very tough old tractor. And, you can use a lot of Mahindra parts, since the Mahindra is a copy of the 424. I used a Mahindra piston to fix the lift because about 1/3 the cost of the IH part. I'd recommend the 424. Most of the gas with PS in good condition sell for around $4000, the diesels usually a little more.

We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
