The Farmall 100 was built by International Harvester from 1954 to 1956 in Chicago, Illinois, USA and Louisville, Kentucky, USA.

Model History[]

For Company history see
Main article: International Harvester

The Farmall 100 replaced the Super A-1, using a slightly restyled grille. The engine was still the 123 ci 4-cylinder but an increase in the compression ratio raised the belt hp rating to 20.

Tractor Comparison[]

Other makes and models competing most closely with the Farmall 100 were the Allis-Chalmers B, Case VAS, and Massey-Harris Pacer and the heavier and more powerful Minneapolis-Moline BG. Other small tractors competing with the Farmall for some uses were the standard-tread John Deere 40 and Oliver 66. During 1956 International Harvester replaced the Farmall 100 with the more powerful Farmall 130.
