And it is absolutely not a mistake. In fact, IH's own documentation proves this, and they put out the information to the dealers as well. Here's what happened: IH started development of an F-20 replacement in the mmid-1930s. The development focused on reducing costs, increasing horsepower, and reducing weight. A lot of the development focused on reducing weight. So IH took that F-20, developed a different frame, put a bigger engine in it that produced more horsepower, and was so successful that the y got the Farmall M. It may have F-30 horsepower, but weight is closer to the F-20. I'm not remembering costs right now, but I think the M was closer to F-20 that F-30. Same deal with the F-14 replacement. Bigger engine for roughly the same size transmisison and weight. THe F-14 was considered to be a two plow tractor in many conditions, the H was a solid two plow tractor. The A and B were all new chassis designes, aiming very solidly at the one plow market. About the only thing they used from the F-12 was engine, but again, in a lighter tractor. So it's not a case of me being wrong, it's just a case of common sense being wrong. Again, I did my homework on this stuff- the advertising saying the same thing is in the archives. If you want the development history, check out my experimentals book.
