The Farmall Era

In 1924, IH introduced the Farmall tractor. The Farmall was a revolutionary tractor, with a tricycle design that made it ideal for row-crop farming. The Farmall was also one of the first tractors to be equipped with a hydraulic lift, which made it easier to attach and remove implements. The Farmall was a huge success, and it helped to make IH one of the leading manufacturers of agricultural equipment in the world.

The Post-World War II Years

After World War II, IH continued to produce a wide range of tractors. The company's tractors were used to help rebuild the world's food supply. In the 1950s, IH introduced the Super M tractor. The Super M was a powerful and versatile tractor that quickly became one of IH's most popular models. In the 1960s, IH introduced the 1466 tractor. The 1466 was a larger and more powerful tractor than the Super M, and it was ideal for large-scale farming operations.

The 1980s

In the 1980s, IH faced increasing competition from other manufacturers. The company also struggled with financial problems. In 1985, IH was sold to Tenneco. Tenneco continued to produce IH tractors for a few years, but the IH brand was eventually phased out. The last IH tractor was produced in 1984.
