Production Facts
- From 1924 until 1963, Farmalls were the largest selling row crop tractors.
- The Farmall H, produced from 1939 to 1952, became the number two-selling tractor model of all time in North America with over 390,000 sold. Only the Ford 8n (due to its exclusive Ferguson Three Point Hitch system) was a better seller.
- The Farmall Cub (later renamed International Cub) remained in production the longest (from 1947 until 1979) with minor updates in engineering & design.
- Culti-Vision proved to be IH's longest-lived engineering feature, staying in production from 1939 - 1979.
- A few clever mechanics have created 'home-brew' IH models, the so-called Super H-TA (Super H with Torque Amplifier), Super HD (Super H Diesel), and F-16 tractors. However, IH itself never manufactured such models.
- The Farmall Works plant in Rock Island, Illinois first opened in 1926. The last IH tractor, a Model 5488, was built there on May 14, 1985. International's Agriculture Equipment Division was sold to Tenneco the prior year, in 1984.
- Case IH has revived the Farmall brand on some of their latest tractors.
- The Hydro 1066 had less drawbar power than the gear-drive 1066 due to hydrostatic slippage, leading to the creation of the Hydro 100.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or facts:
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
““It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital.... I would call your attention to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.”
“The dog did nothing in the night-time.”
“That was the curious incident.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
