International Harvester 30 er-Serie – collective page of the Farmall 130 to 200 types: four-cylinder petrol engines of 2,011 to 2,209 cm³, 15.7 to 24.3 kW, unladen weights of 1,202 to 1,980 kg
This collective page gathers International Harvester tractors from the 30-series numbering, including the types 130 and 330 as well as the Farmall 130 and Farmall 200 models sold under the Farmall brand. At the time, the three-digit type numbers followed an internal International Harvester scheme for size and equipment level, with Farmall serving as the group's own distribution brand for light and medium field tractors.

The register lists 4 versions with 15.7 to 24.3 kW from four-cylinder petrol engines throughout, of 2,011 to 2,209 cm³ displacement, torque of 148 Nm, unladen weights from 1,202 to 1,980 kg and rated speeds from 1,400 to 2,000 rpm; lengths range from 2,718 to 3,124 mm, widths from 1,422 to 2,032 mm, heights from 1,483 to 1,899 mm.
The types of the 30 series gathered on this page formed the backbone of the light and medium field-tractor segment for International Harvester and the Farmall brand, competing directly with comparable ranges from John Deere, Ford and Massey-Harris.
On a used Farmall or IHC tractor of these types, the condition of the four-cylinder petrol engine's carburettor and ignition system, rust on the frame and sheet-metal parts, the tightness of the gearbox and rear axle, and the condition of the lift hydraulics all count; thanks to the large production numbers of the Farmall range and an active collector community, parts availability is comparatively good.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
