The Fabulous Farmall
ntroduced
in 1924, the multipurpose Farmall tractor was designed not only
for drawbar, power take off, and pulley work, but also for
cultivation of row crops. The Farmall became one of the most
popular tractors ever; within six years International Harvester
had sold 100,000 of them. The company redesigned and expanded
the Farmall line in the early 1930s to include three different
models, of which the F-12 was the smallest and cheapest. With so
many Farmalls on public roads, International Harvester switched
from gray to red paint as a safety feature in 1936.
