Model History[]
- For Company history see
- Main article: International Harvester
The new McCormick-Deering Farmall B was closely related to the Farmall A. The main differences were the B's narrow front (tricycle) design with a standard single front wheel or optional dual wheels, plus an extended left rear axle. Moving the left rear wheel outward put the engine and transmission in the center but the driver was still offset to the right for a good view of the ground and crop below the tractor. The B had the same power as the A and was also rated as a 1-plow tractor but it was designed to cultivate two rows vs. one for the A.
Tractor Comparison[]
At $535 the 18 pto hp Farmall B was the least expensive tricycle-type tractor available in 1940. The only other models under 20 hp were the Allis-Chalmers RC, Cletrac General, John Deere H and its replacement MT, and the Oliver 60. The other companies' smallest tricycle models were over 20 hp.
