During the earlier letter series tractors there was more noticable difference in the wheel type (McCormick or International) and row crop tractors (Farmall)than the later tractors starting with the 706, 806, 1206 series. However there were still considerable differences. We called what you call a wheatland tractor a wheel tractor. In lots of areas they were called a standard tractor. At that time, all Farmalls were row crop tractors. These comments are referred to the 706, 806, & 1206 mainly. The Farmalls were available with single front, dual tricycle front, or wide front axle. The International versions of these were only available with a wide front axle which had a complete different steering setup and front bolster setup and was also a shorter wheelbase. The whole front axle was completely different. The rear wheels were different although they did now clamp and slide on the rear axles whereas prior to this series all wheel tractors had non sliding rear wheels. The rear operators platform was completely different as were the fenders. A hand clutch was optional on the Internationals but not Farmalls. The International 706, 806, 1206 had the headlights mounted in the grille whereas the Farmall versions had them located on the side of the hood at the gastank location unless they were fitted with flat top fenders in which case they were mounted in the fenders. Three point hitch was available on both the Farmalls and Internationals. If the International you have found does not have a three point it would be difficult to add the three point but it could be done. You would have to incorporate all of the lower linkage torsal bar sensing as well as all of the upper rocker arm equipment just for a start. It would be a major project.
