IH Canada had a plant in Hamilton, Ontario. Tractors were not made there but balers, loaders and other farm implements were. IH also made trucks there for a while. The reason Canada imported so many 30 to 80HP Diesel European farm tractor was the price of farm gas in Canada was almost double that of USA. When we had a SC and 300U in mid 50s gas was $0.25 a gallon and Diesel was $0.16 a gallon. The 300U was a great tractor but when under heavy load it would burnt 3 or more gallons an hour. We traded 300U for B414D and doing the same job the B414D would use less than 1 gallon/hour.
The US IH tractor production was mostly gasoline for the 30 to 80HP range where as the European 30 to 80HP was all Diesel. Therefore IH Canada imported the European Diesels to sell in the 30 to 80HP range. Above 80HP, IH Canada sold USA made Diesels.
