[AT] Info on an International 404?

[Al Jones]

The 424 was a whole different tractor, but if you ask a lot of farmers
around here that remember/used them when they were new, they will tell
you the 424 "replaced" the International (not Farmall) 404.  I suspect
dealers might have marketed them this way.  The 404 was produced in its
entirety at the Louisville IH plant, the rear end (and engine if a
diesel) for the 424 was made in Doncaster England and then shipped to
Louisville where assembly was completed. 

In 1967 my dad bought a new 424 gas, a friend up the road who farmed
with him some had bought a new I-404 a few years earlier.  Both handled
the same size implements, the 424 only has 2-3 more HP.  If it doesn't
have power steering, the 404 will handle better than a 424!!

I have never seen a Farmall 404, but they certainly are neat.

I have a Farmall 404. Row crop, tricycle front, draft sensing 3-point.
Only
about 8500 made. Basically it is a glorified Super C with 3-point and
newer
sheet metal. I need it like I need a hole in my head but it is neat and
the
price was OK. There was a nice one at Red Power last summer. The
International version was far more common than the Farmall version. I
think
the 424 models were next in line but they were all standard tread
utility
type tractors.
