1962 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER Farm Equipment Catalog

[@Calorwa1]

I remember getting a new IH catalog every year growing up. Loved looking in it and wishing for my dad to buy something besides a CUB!!! My favorite IH here is a 1962 62series TD6. Love it! Thanks for the video.

The cover picture is beautiful. That was a hell of an operation for the early 60s. Makes you wonder what became of the farm.

[@farmall51]

Yeah this was one of my favorites of the buyers guides. I'm sure it's in house's now.

My dad had a 560 with a loader on it for loading maure into a STARLINE manure spreader. The hood on that 560 seemed like it was 50 ft long when I was 9-10 yrs old. The cowyard fence took a beating!

I was born in 62 ,but we ran some of these equipment.Model 80 pull type combine,IH chopper boxes and a 4 row planter about this vintage. We went from a super M,H and WD9 to a 856 in 1971. Fun memories!

Thanks for watching

This the end of the era when the narrow front tractors were still the most popular style in all brands. Thanks for showing us this time capsule from another era.

[@roostergamer2664]

Very nostalgic. My Grandfather farmed here in the UK from the early 1960's. Growing up I spent a lot of time on the farm with him. Watching this video brought back some great memories, thank you.

Grew up on the predecessor to those 414 cotton pickers... we had a pair of 220's and a 214. The 220's always ran just a hair's width off of hot-- those little six cylinder engines in them were just barely adequate to the task. The 214 low drum was much easier on it and did a better job. Less moving parts. Even in a year with tall cotton it just bent it over a bit and picked it better anyway. I guess those old 220's and 214's must've been from the late 50's. They were good solid machines. We ran ours up til the early-90's when CASE-IH quit providing parts for them. Just froze them out. Neighbors and I, we all scrounged each other's fence rows and junk piles and scrapped machines for parts, until we couldn't get parts anymore, then they all went in the fencerow or to the scrap dealer... shame they were still good machines and would be in the field if parts were available! D@mn shame and wasteful. Crooked IH dealer sold me an old 416 diesel picker cheap to finish the season when the 214 died for lack of parts at the beginning of it, but the old thing was SO worn out the engine wouldn't hardly start in 100 degree weather-- had to lean on the glow plug button for about a minute and crank til the battery was nearly dead before she'd fire up. We got the first picking done, and had just started scrapping second pick and the driveshaft broke a yoke on it. Went to the dealer for parts (he'd swore they could get any parts I needed for it when he sold it to me) and of course, no parts.... partsman did put it on the "obsolete parts network" and after a week or two said he was waiting on a call from a guy in Mississippi who might have one. A week later he told me "nah, they cleaned out all the old parts from their old warehouse out back and it must've gone in the dumpster". SO much for the 416... they were nowhere near as good a machine as the 214's they replaced. I always wondered why you never saw any of those newer machines still in the field-- everybody either had the brand new 782's from the mid-70's on or ran the older than dirt 214's and 220's. The 400 series and 600 series pickers were almost nonexistent. I pulled it out of the field up to the house and it sat behind the barn for a year. Next summer the neighbor came over looking for the exact same part that busted on his... I told him good luck no parts and mine's broke too... SO two more machines went to the scrapyard. Crooked IH dealer then wanted to "make me a deal" on an old 782... those were good machines, a lot of bigger guys upgraded to them in the late 70's and 80's, til the 2 and 4 row pickers came out in the late 80's... BUT this one had a damaged unit, looked like someone ran it into a stump or well casing and racked the entire unit sideways, so it would never pick right... that row unit was junk. I was burned out on CaseIH by that point-- if they don't want to provide parts for the older machines, how long until they would quit providing parts for the 782's? When I asked the dealer that he turned red as a beet got steamed up and stalked off back into the office. Oh well good riddance! I went and bought a Deere 9900 cotton picker-- MUCH better machine and with a cab with air! That was really sweet after all those summers cooking in 100+ degree heat on an open deck under a dinky umbrella in all that cotton chaff and linters floating around... First thing I asked when I started looking at a Deere picker was "can I get parts for it" and the parts man took me behind the counter and pulled it up on the computer and showed me where they could get parts all the way back to their first self-propelled cotton pickers... same for their combines when I was looking at a Deere combine a few years later... We'd always farmed with Ford tractors but Dad and Grandpa liked the IH cotton pickers better than the old Deere first generation 99's... Ford was a cheaper tractor to buy and parts were cheaper than Deere or IH. Then in the mid-90's New Holland bought out Ford Tractor Division. They froze out the parts for the Ford shortline equipment... the implements that Ford had sourced from different manufacturers and rebranded and sold over the years... the old Kelley and Dearborn stuff like plows and such had been hard to get parts for even before the buyout, but NH just cut the farmers off from parts and jacked the prices up on their parts so they were higher than Deere or CaseIH in many cases. So much for New Holland. And now, of course, New Holland has bought out CaseIH, and subsequently been bought out by FIAT (Fix It Again Tomorrow) so basically CASE IH and NH have made me a Deere fan with their lack of parts. Basically the whole thing is a big conglomerate of once-great companies that went broke and now is under one big loser umbrella. Guess that's why the local IH megadealer is more interested in construction equipment anymore than farm machinery... and why where once red cotton pickers outnumbered green ones at least 5:1, probably more, now you don't see a single red cotton picker in this part of the country anymore... they're all the big green ones now. I have a few pieces of old IH equipment-- a 470 disk which was light years better design than the same age green one, and a sickle mower... but that's it. Only way I'll even look at red stuff anymore is if it's just an absolute steal-- and then I'm skeptical because their parts supply sucks so bad. NO WAY I'd buy any self-propelled red equipment unless it was in top condition and selling dirt cheap and I'd checked on the parts supply first. I simply don't trust the crummy CaseNH company anymore... Case/NH made me a Deere fan... if you're going to have to pay the high prices, might as well have the superior Deere quality and parts availability over the cheaper, junkier CNH stuff...

Dude I love old ag I was born in the wrong decade there is something about old semis and tractors that we can all love

[@RLGGIBSON]

I enjoyed this , there were things that they made that I have not seen down here in the lower part of South Carolina .

[@farmall51]

Yes , depending on what part of the country you were in . Interesting to travel and see what was popular around the country. And world.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thanks. Lots and lots of memories

[@BaylonWiresOldIron]

I shared this with the folks on my channel

[@Stereo4102]

From 1985 on, Case-IH.

[@tyfrank3427]

Neat brochure. Those International 560 and 660 tractors may be drawings on that page but both are gas. To find either one is extremely rare. Farmall 560s in gas are common but not true abut the I-560 and 660. Even though 460 utilities were built up to 1963, they didn't really promote them at all. The comparable 606 was promoted instead. I didn't know IH made car type trailers. Those without fenders are highly illegal now. The 660 with the scraper was neat. Never seen one like it in person.

[@farmall51]

IH was good about editing photos and reusing Old photos. Like in the 85 buyers guide where they edited off the 7488 and put the CASEIH tractor on the cover.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Back when they had a tractor and implement for every need large or small.

[@farmall51]

It was a Farm-All kinda company

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

@@farmall51 Absolutely. CaseIH doesn't build a tractor today I could use including their so called "Farmall" tractors.

[@Onealfarm9967]

I wish so much that IH would bring back the tractor company to the USA I still have my 1086 it’s not petty but that thing runs like a new one starts up every time I turn the key

[@leslieholman3121]

I was born in 1969 but growing up on our farm we had a lot of old farmall tractors. I still have my father and grandfather 1956 farmall 200 I remember my dad said why just farm when you can farmall

[@farmall51]

Thanks for watching

[@tomnapier681]

International made a lot of very good products shame it just history now the inter tip truck and baler a case dealer couldnt get to tie properly as they didnt know what they were doing was a good baler the fault was very simple when someone else told me what it was E 211 pay scraper ripper little digger never be with out a scraper and the very old 295 planter units did a good job life has changed and a lot not for the better

[@jaredsingletary3115]

I got the same magazine at the house in mint condition

[@stueveconstruction6620]

do you know the location of that farm? Someone told me it was along rt 59 in Naperville, IL... I want to recreate that photo ... I went to the plac ethey said and it was all houses... Please let me know if you know where it is located.

[@farmall51]

It's in house's now

[@thomaskilpatrick8531]

I see a British built 414 in the line up,is there many in the US?

[@farmall51]

They imported them over here probably to fill a gap in the lineup.

[@thomaskilpatrick8531]

A bit like ford did with the dexta and major

[@farmall51]

@@thomaskilpatrick8531 yes. I'm assuming IH didn't have a tractor in that power gap and needed something to fill it until we here in the US could come up with something.

Very cool but very blurry. Even on laptop.

Glad I’m not the only one, seems weird, most of these are available on 720P and are crystal clear while a couple are only available in 480P and you can’t make out any of the words
