International – other models: the collective page of American and British tractors outside the named ranges, from the B-250 from Doncaster through the Farmall series to the 684 and 956 AXL, 22 to 92 kW
This page gathers the International tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from the B types built in Doncaster, England, to the North American successors of the Farmall in the 400 to 900 series. International Harvester was formed in Chicago in 1902 from the merger of the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company with the Deering Harvester Company and other implement makers; in 1923 the firm launched the Farmall, the first general-purpose row-crop tractor with a narrow front axle. The type logic of the models listed here: the B-250 and B-275 were built at the British Doncaster works and carry the B designation typical of IH Europe, the three-digit types 434 to 956 of the 1960s to 1980s order the range in the first digit and the development stage in the following ones, AXL marks four-wheel-drive versions. In 1985 International Harvester's agricultural arm merged with J. I. Case to form Case IH.

The register lists here 38 versions with 22 to 92 kW from three- to six-cylinders of 2,300 to 5,867 cm³, unladen weights from 1,550 to 6,200 kg, gross weights from 1,696 to 8,650 kg, lengths from 2,840 to 5,200 mm and widths from 1,195 to 2,550 mm.
International Harvester and its Farmall shaped American agriculture for decades and, through the Doncaster plant, the British market too; the red paintwork of the Farmall tractors remains a recognisable mark of the brand and its successor, Case IH, to this day.
On used tractors, the older Farmall and B types call for checking the condition of the cylinder head and carburettor, the tightness of the hydraulic system, the condition of the front axle and steering, rust on sheet metal, and, on the 400 to 900 series, the gearbox and clutch; parts run through the Case IH network and a broad independent-parts scene around the Farmall classics.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
