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.
