Framall Model B was one of the new generation of tractors introduced by International Harvester in 1939. This new line of IH tractors offered more versatility and performance than ever before available to the American farmer. The B featured a narrow front end with either single or dual-wheels and adjustable rear tread from 64 to 92 inches. The offset drivers seat made it an ideal tractor for cultivating row crops. IH called this design feature "Culti-Vision". The Model B had a four-cylinder engine and was offered with a full line of implements. With ballast added it had the power to handle a single 16 inch plow bottom. This little tractor was widely used for gardening work, mowing and other farm chores. It was very popular with nursery operators, vegetable growers and small acreage farmers.
