I've got a couple of them. My earliest B275 diesel has a CAV inline injection pump with air-govenor. My later one has a rotary pump. They were actually made in India, not Britain. IH made a deal with Mahindra, and Mahindra made them in their factory. They also made some Willys military Jeeps around WWII.
I haven't had trouble getting parts right though my local Case/IH dealer. I recently rebuilt the engine on my oldest B275. Gasktes, pistons and sleeves, injection nozzles, all no problem. As I understand it, most of the tractor is still made new. Mahindra now markets their tractors under their own name, and one of the models is, basicaly, a B275-B414 with a newer engine. I was told it uses about 85% of the original parts.

philosophy led to the company’s eventual entrance into the worldwide tractor market.
In 1963, M&M formed a joint venture with International Harvester to manufacture
tractors carrying the Mahindra nameplate for the Indian market. Armed with engineering,
tooling and manufacturing know-how gained from this relationship, M&M developed its
first tractor, the B-275. This successor to International Harvester’s incredibly popular IH
B-414 is still the basis for some current Mahindra models."

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
