Farmall B

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Farmall B is a classic 2WD row-crop tractor that was produced by International Harvester between 1939 and 1947. It utilized a sliding gear transmission with four forward gears and one reverse gear, allowing farmers to tackle a variety of tasks with relative ease. The tractor could be powered by either a gasoline or a kerosene engine, both of which were four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, and provided a displacement of 113.1 cubic inches. The manual steering and the open operator station were characteristic of tractors from this era, offering straightforward but physically demanding handling. With the ability to equip different types of agricultural tires and a well-sized fuel tank, the Farmall B was suited for an array of jobs in the field. Despite its age, many units are still in operation today, loaded with the charm of early American tractor engineering.
