According to Guy Fay's"International Harvester Tractor Data Book" the X3 suffix on tractor serial numbers means that it came from the factory as a kerosene burning tractor.

Now if it has never been "opened up", still has its shutters, its starting tank & original pistons, it MIGHT be a little more valuable. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
