[AT] International Model 100????

[John Hall]

  Hopefully Al Jones will jump in with more technical data, he has 
really studied the changes in the early offset Farmalls. I'd have to 
really dig to see what the difference is between an IH vs a Farmall 100. 
Possibly just a lack of being able to adjust wheel width (or not as 
much) on the IH machine. It may have been more of an "industrial" type 
machine (but not painted yellow). Some of the numbered offset series did 
use white for the grills, don't know if anything else was white. As far 
as I know, the rims were always silver (but I could be wrong). Searching 
parts books at CaseIH may give more clues.

I don't have any serial records on either of those (that I have been 
able to find).  Hopefully someone can shed some light on the differences 
between them, then you can look for those differences and make sure they 
agree with the serial tag. Word of warning--the entire offset line 
(Super A through 140) whad a lot of "chunks" of parts that will 
interchange. It was VERY common to mix and match parts.  For example 
both our Super A's have ball joint steering rods and water pumps that 
were added many years ago--this was not original to that model, but was 
a bolt on replacement, probably from a 100 or 130. We worked on a 140 
for a BIG guy. Some of those had a enormous steering wheel--he literally 
couldn't drive the machine for lack of room. We took the steering wheel, 
shaft, and steering box off a Super A and bolted in place of what he 
had. Most folks would have no idea what we did.

FWIW, Super A, Super A-1, 100, 130, 140 was the order they were 
produced. Straight A's and 274's are way different.

Regardless of what it is, they are pretty tough little tractors with 
plenty of parts availability. Us fellows in the Southeast grew up with 
those things, we don't see them being entirely put out to pasture for 
decades to come. Keep us posted!!!

Looks to me like it is International not Farmall and why is some of it painted white? Do you agree it is an International model 100? Has cultivators and plow. Didn't get to look at the serial number tag. Will do so on next visit.  See picture:
