I'm not so familiar with the ih 240. That would be the timeframe when 'options' were on tractors, so might depend on how it is fitted.
I will guess the 240 has more options. Could be power steering, live hydraulics, live pto. Did ihc have a 3pt option at that time, or is it the ihc 2pt or 1pt at that time/size tractor? A three point is the way to go.
If you aren't familiar with what live hydraulics or live pto is, trust me you will really prefer those options. Old tractors when you push the clutch in the hydraulics and pto stop working as well as the rear wheels. A real pain to keep tillers, mowers, balers, etc going. Can't lift the 3pt with the clutch pushed in, real pain.....
The ford N series came out with the three point, and was the perfect size tractor to replace a team of horses. It was really advanced at just the point of time people wanted to switch from horses to a small tractor. So they sold many of them, and people loved thrm, have fond memories of them.
Neat little tractors, and will always have a place in history.
To -use- a tractor today, live pto and live hydraulics make life so very much more fun these days. Certainly you can work without it, but oh what a difference those options make......
