Chris: Around the world, IH did a lot of different items in different countries. The letter series Super BMD was built into the late 1950s Followed by the B-450, same sheet metal as the SM and was sold in Britian and Austrailia well into the 60s. These tractors were also direct start diesels, and did not have live pto.

The IH utility 444 had completely different sheet metal in Canada from that in US.

I had a relative farming in the US and when visiting we used the take along the IH buyers guides just to see what we were each missing out on. I can remember over the years compareing Canadian and US buyers guides, and while many things were the same, a lot of items were different. Many of the Farmall diesels shipped in here had some quite heavy starting equipment. Every year there were items not available, both sides of the border. Never the same items on both sides.

I mentioned plows in my other post. Trailer plows built before 1962 were quite different in Canada from the plows in the US. The cross members between beams on Canadian plows were square across and overlaping thus allowing one to change the width of cut. Canadian plows also had a reduction cog in the notches of levelling levers. The levers were hinged in middle with 3 notches for quickly changing from use with a Farmall to a W series tractor.

It's no wonder IH as we know it aren't around anymore. Too much money spent being all things to all people.
