John,

Ypur tractor is a 1960 Farmall B-450. I don't know how many were imported to the US (Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi) but it was a lot more than 350. Also a good number were sold in Texas. Numbers are relative and it is a rare tractor in the US. As Hugh mentioned a few International B-450's were sold in Canada. It was brought into the South at the request of dealers who wanted something more simple than the new 460/560 etc line of six cylinder tractors. It proved to be a good tractor but it was never pushed by IH who wanted to promote the more modern tractors so was sold over here for just a few years. Although they are scattered all over the US now, they were only sold in the Delta regions of AR, MS, & LA, and in Texas.
