International Harvester Type A 20HP

The International Harvester Type A 20HP is a standard-tread tractor designed for general farm and agricultural tasks. With a 4x2 2WD chassis and manual steering, this tractor provides basic functionality commonly found in early 20th-century tractor models. It features a single-speed gear transmission coupled with a massive 902 cubic inch, single-cylinder engine that operates between 240 and 290 RPM. Though exact details regarding horsepower are not available, the combination of a large displacement engine and a substantial operating weight of 12,000 lbs suggests that it was built for heavy-duty work. Recognizing its age and style, this tractor likely plays more of a historical or collectors’ role today rather than being used for modern farming operations.
