J. Schwiebert: I don't doubt you, I have heard of the Perkins repower units as Guy mentions.
None of the British Farmalls were ever imported to Canada. I understand a few of the British WD6 went to western Canada. The tractors we did get from Britain were B-250, B-275, 414, 434, British assembled 444 and the 384. That 444 has been a pain in the butt on discussion here at YT. Unless one is sure where the question is coming from it can be misleading. We got the completely British assembled 444,while you folks got the Louisville assembled tractor. Everything on the Louisville tractor except engine transmission and rear end is different from the British assembled tractor. IH sold only Louisville assembled 444 in the US, while they sold British assembled 444 in Canada.
Those B-450 you folks see around the US were shipped into Mississippi by IH around 1962-63. I expect the one you saw had factory 3 point hitch. The manufacture dates are different in Britain than US. Britain started off after the war with BM. Around 53 it became the Super BMD with factory 3 point until 1960-61, then it became B-450 and was built until 1966-67. They never had a MTA, or IPTO. I'll send you and e mail, and yes I'd like to have a photo of a B-450.
About the Cub engine, it was another engine manufacturer's design, however I think they licenced the right to build it to IH. I've forgotten whether that was Continental or another make.
