Hey all I was wondering if you could help me settle and argument I am haveing with my dad. We have been having a discussion of which tractors IH has produced the most of. We pretty much agree that M is number one and that H is number 2, but then we disagree. I think its then cub and maybe the f-20. He thinks its 806 and then one of the 66 series tractors. Heck we are probably both wrong. but it sure would be nice to know the real answer. THANKS

Jonathan: As said by others, after 1955 production runs of various models were so much shorter than letter series. Letter series plus Supers were around for 15 years. After 55, 5 years was a long production run, except for Cub and 140.

Then as horsepower began to increase into the 60s, it just took fewer tractors to farm North America. Probably IH was producing more horsepower per year and per model. Now there would be an interesting discussion; what year did IH produce the most tractor horsepower and what model holds the title. Still further do a poll on which model clocked the most hours across North America. You will be surprised how far down the pecking order the H and M will be in such a poll. I'll bet they will not even be in the top 10.

3 polls: Year of most total horsepower. Model with most total horsepower. Model with the most total hours of work.

Not quite sure how one will calculate the hours one. I can tell you there are a lot of 06 and 56 series that have topped the 20,000 hour mark. Still number one in my book as the best IH ever built.

farmall H , possably cub if you include the newer models , but i believe far less / year were made in later years ?? H = 391,229 SH= 28,740 M= 297,717 SM= 44,551 (not a defanite no.) cub = 210,000+ untill 1958 , production continued thru 1979 A = 220,000 (approx.) SA = 100,000 + C&SC = 150,000 (approx) f-12= 120,000 (approx.) & f-20= 150,000 (approx.) all models after 1954 were far less total no's , production runs lasted fewer years , & total farm no.'s were steadily declineing (less tractor demand) ..... here's a few of the most popular (all are aprox. no's) , 300 , 30K .. 350 15K...400 ,40K...450, 20K ... 560 , 50K...706 40K...806 35K...856 32K

Dave: I agree with you except with letter series one must almost group Letter and Super Letter together as not all became Supers the same year. For example the A became a Super the first year the C was in production. The H and M had much longer production runs than either A or C, yet the SH and SM only had 2 to 3 years.
Thus:
H and SH 419969
M and SM 342268
A and SA 320000
C and SC 150000

I think the A and SA numbers are low according to these numbers, probably closer to 350,000, but then, where is one going to give the B credit. Also just what does one do with the Cubs after 1958. If you count all the Cadets, probably more Cubs than all others put together.

Sounds good Hugh ..... the (75,000) farmall B's were no'd with the A's - so there's prob'ly even less A's than we came up with ?? but then the SAI's were no'd separately , so one might have to add a few back on again And i found a sn list of the cubs untill 75 , then added on aproxamate anual production for 76 to 79 and came up with 255,000 farmall cubs & 65,000 Cub cadets ..... .at any rate , a lot of farmalls were built , & the H still seems to be the leader in no's anyway , it's kinda interesting to add up a few totals & realize just HOW MANY red tractors were made ..... & here i always thought i owed about have of them , my wife'll be proud of me when i show her what a minute percentage that i actually do own !!!

Dave: You could tell her 1/10 of 1% would be an ideal goal. Sounds small, yet gives you some room to manuver. From what I've seen you seem to be in the 1939 to 1960 tractors, heck your good for 500.

Yep, you're both wrong.

International Harvester built more Farmall H's than any other tractor they ever built.

Around 400,000 is the number that comes to mind vs about 300,000 M's
