bitty Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Top one is what turned into my pulling one. One at the auction is what I grew up with, wish I would have bid on that one !! It shows a dent on the right hood and I want to ask the owner of the nice one I have pictures of from the 2019 Bloomsburg show with his 230 . He was at the farm on Thursday working on the coal stove. His 450 has all the same features as ours did 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

234-IA Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Sharp tractors, looking forward to seeing more. On and off through the years I've considered picking up a 450/400 but there are already a Super C, H, and M on the farm wanting attention- and work, mostly- I don't have for that sort of tractor any longer.

Sledgehammer Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 All pics I’ve taken. Sorry if any are doubles. (Bitty and I share pics sometimes 😊) I really like the W450 gas tractor farther down in the pics. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnsfull Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 1957. Bought it about 6 yrs ago on estate sale. Always been a local tractor within about 5 miles. Always wanted a smta, but thought this would make an excellent second choice when it became available. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitty, I expect some shots from you. So let's see some 450's. Ohhhhh! So close. I had a 400 for a while. That tractor was one luggin' sonofagun! Traded it off for a 460.... which really did not have the same amount of beans as the 400. I now tend to agree with people that state the 460 is an H with two extra cylinders & some other refinements. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twostepn2001 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 These are my 450's. Bought new, never restored...😎 One with 4 row cultivator, the other is a 450 LP. Original reason l bought them was l wanted to switch the cultivator to the LP 450 so l would have a model of one like my Dad had many years ago but just haven't got around to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagan Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Dad purchased a 450 at the IHC dealer with about 500 hours on it when it in 1960. Before it came home it was converted to LP Gas. One heck of a good tractor. We ran that tractor for several years and in about 62 he added a 560 LP Gas that came from the factory as a LP Gas model. It was never as good as the 450 in fact the 450 was 53 HP on the dyno and the 560 was 59 and one thing when working them tractors the 560 took a quart of oil a day. I remember later on after the 806's came along dad put the 450 back on gasoline and it was not nearly as good a tractor then as on LP. Dad had a older guy working for him when i was born and when i was 19 1/2 dad died and the guy was still working for dad. I remember that old guy hated the 560 but loved the 450. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney1918 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Not really much history with mine, both came from auctions not running. This was taken just after the one in the foreground came off the trailer. The big spot on it around the exhaust is from the muffler having no bottom in it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowsk Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Just took this picture Saturday of Grandpa's 450 diesel when I was unloading beans. I've been running it quite a bit on the auger this fall. When I was younger I didn't start it because I wasn't sure about the whole start on gas procedure. After I finally did it once I realized it isn't any big deal. Great-grandpa bought it new in 1956 and the tach rolled over once before it quit working many years ago. Now it is the main auger tractor, along with the 350 diesel. Has its original work clothes on. Has gone through 2 heads back in the day. -Noah 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
