Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Farmall 400, built by International Harvester between 1954 and 1956, is a 2WD row-crop tractor designed to meet the demands of farming operations. The tractor offers a choice between a 4-cylinder gasoline/LP-gas C264 engine and a 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing versatility in fuel type. Both engines have a displacement of 264 cubic inches and are liquid-cooled, with different options for cooling capacity based on engine type. The 'Torque Amplifier' partial power shift transmission grants the user 10 forward gears and 2 reverse gears for a range of speed and power settings. The Farmall 400 is capable of using an IH Fast Hitch, and it comes in a robust form factor, with a weight of 6,300 pounds and manual or optional power steering to navigate different terrains.
