The International B414 gasoline was built by International Harvester from 1961 to 1966 in Bradford, England.

Model history[]

For Company history see
Main article: International Harvester

For diesel version see basic International B414 article.

The diesel-powered British-built International B414 replaced/supplemented the McCormick International B275 in 1961. The new model dropped the McCormick name and became just International (at least in the US). In 1962 a gasoline-powered version was developed, primarily for the US market. The BC-144 gasoline engine was a conversion from the BD-144 British-built diesel of the B275. The gasoline model was assigned a separate serial number range. The B414 gasoline was about the same size and had about the same power as the American-built 404 Utility.


Tractor Comparison, US gasoline models[]

In its early years the strongest competition for the International B414 gasoline tractor came from the cheaper John Deere 1010 and the cheaper but more powerful Oliver 550. The Case 440, Ford 2000, and Massey-Ferguson MF35 were all slightly less powerful than the International. By the end of production in 1966, the aging B414 significantly undercut the prices of the new Ford 3000, John Deere 1020, Massey Ferguson MF135, and Oliver 1250.
