First International Tractor
Image
The first tractor model produced by International Harvester. These early models were friction-drive trucks with an IH "Famous" engine added on to supply power. The title "International Tractor of 1905" is on the print. Other evidence, however, suggests that the first International tractor was actually built in 1906.
1933
