I have a similar issue with the W4, W6, W9, WD9 all together in the brochure. It is interesting that the WD6 was not included in it. Perhaps the WD6 was not released until the following spring. Note the 24 inch rear wheels. Later units (after the war?) had the 26 inch wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I met Barry Baxter once when I went down to Brantford to buy a Farmall 450 from him back in the mid 1970's. But I wasn't fast enough. It was sold a few hours before I got there. But it was a nice trip thru that part of Ontario in the summertime and saw a lot of tobacco growing back then. I am more familiar with the Glencoe, Rodney, Bothwell and Ridgetown areas since that is where my in laws live. I gather you live further east in the Aylmer to Norwich area.

I notice they only mention of the Super W6-TA gasoline and gasoline distillate models. There must have been a separate brochure for the diesel version. Was there ever a Super W6-TA LPG tractor built?

George 2 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The diesel version was in the same brochure on another page. I have that same SW6-TA brochure. No factory LPG models. One of my friends father had a SW6-TA and after it was traded ended up on our neighbor's place. The same neighbor also had a SW4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lineup of tractors from 1958 here. Canadian issued brochure, it mentions the B-250 which I don;t believe was sold in the US. I assume that the 330 was sold a the gasoline alternative to the B-250 diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Australia, of all the models listed above, we only imported the Farmall 130 HC, the International 650 Diesel and the B-250 diesel.

The 330 had 35 PTO HP. The B250 had 28 PTO HP. The Farmall 230 also had 28 PTO HP. The B414 at 36 PTO HP was equivalent to the 330, 340, 404, 424, 434 in PTO HP. The 504 at 46 PTO HP was a bit larger but built on the same chassis as the 330, 340. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 That Rice brochure is very nice and I will look for one. This McCormick Deering brochure is Canadian and it gives equal billing to the W Series as compared to the Farmall line. From what I am told and what I see the W Series was promoted a little more in Canada than the USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will still see the occasional one show up at a farm auction sale. Here is a 1955 ad showing a couple of satisfied Saskatchewan farmer customers praising their WD 9 and 6.

Ditto Australia and New Zealand. With our focus on wheat rather than corn the W Series was generally more common than the Farmall tractors, particularly the W-6. The first tractor IH built in Australia was a W-6 in 1948. The Farmall M followed later. The most common Letter Series Farmall in Australia seems to be the Farmall A which was promoted as heavily by IH Australia. The Australian built Super AW-6, AWD-6 like the British Super BW-6, BWD-6 (sold in New Zealand) were offered with optional three point hitch and in their respective markets were sold as large general purpose tractors rather than just "wheatlanders" Regards from Michael H.

The above mentioned US built 330, 340, 404 & 504 utility tractors are all a bit of a mystery to me as none were sold in Australia. The commonality of the chassis makes sense and links together these models. The 424 (USA) and the 434 (UK) are both straight forward updates of the original British B-414. The Australian update of the B-414 was the A-414 Regards from Michael H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
