Tractor and car manufacturers bring out new models to attract customers and meet the competition. In the 40's and 50's IH waited too long to do that and lost market share to Deere. Your 300, I believe, was IH's answer to the Ford 8N and it's successors, along with the Ferguson 30, or whatever the mumber was at that time. The 350U's replacement was the 460U which in many ways is similar to your 300, just as the 60 series row crops were newer versions of the H/M series. At about the same time the 340U appeared, which was slightly smaller than the 350. So, IH really didn't kill off your tractor, they "improved" it-the "-" indicates that many people actually prefer the 50 series over the newer 60 series. At that point in time IH began to realize the status quo was not good enough, and attempted to make up ground, too late.
