There are numerous differences most of which are not very visible in themselves but the lighting system is totally different and since this thread deals with the sheet metal that is what I tried to assist with. The Farmall model has the lights mounted on the rear fuel tank cover while they are mounted on the front side panels on the Utility model. The lighting is also very different on the rear of the tractor with almost totally different components. The hoods are different due to the under slung exhaust for instance on the Utility model when so equipped along with all the components required for placement along the lower part of the tractor. The size and type of rear wheels causes a different tachometer being required in the instrument panel due to different size rear tires and resulting ground speed variations between the two models. The rear drawbars are different and there are considerable differences in the hydraulics on the back of the tractor in the Tel-A-Depth and Traction Control Systems. If you go through your parts catalog in some detail you will see many instances where different areas are unique to the individual models. You mention using the front narrow off of a Super C on a Farmall 240 and that would be possible since the pedestals on both models are the same but it ends there due to the different types of wheels used as the axle components are much different between a SC and a Farmall 240. You can do as you suggest if you also use the SC style of cast wheels in lieu of the stamped steel ones of the Farmall 240. I've spent a couple of years searching for individual parts for my Farmall 240 and I can assure you there are numerous differences where parts from one model will not work on the other. Just spend some time looking in detail at your parts catalog and you will see many of them. The illustrations might be for both models but when you look through the individual referenced parts you will see differences between the Utility and Farmall models. In point, I'm looking for a fast hitch swinging drawbar for my Farmall 240 and the one for the International fast hitch doesn't even look close to the same. If you really want to really and I mean really find all the differences try restoring one and you might be surprised where some of them are. I certainly don't mean this to be a put down to your knowledge but there is nothing like being in the trenches on restoring one as close to original as possible. No wonder you seldom ever see a decent Farmall 240 at a tractor show as nothing unique to that tractor is being reproduced by anyone unless it has other uses on more common tractor models. Original parts are very difficult to find due to the low production number of 240's and especially the Farmall model which is only approximately one forth that of the Utilities at a few over 3500.
