Many years ago, my family bought an IH B46 which at first they put behind a IH B450. Like all earlier International tractors, it did not have a live PTO. Apparently they then put it on a MF 65 with a dual clutch which of course was far handier.

The guy with the Fordson came over to dad and said "Seeing how you can get on , I think I might as well go home!"
