International B 275 tractor, 70 years old start.

Giving a helping hand to my old International tractor at the start of firewood cutting season.
See my channel page (click on my name) for books and ways to help out, cheers

[@ChrisGrady-by6uk]

Thank you for an excellent video presentation on the B 275.

[@TheInfoworks]

Thanks for the compliment, this is part of a series of 275 repair videos, cheers

[@williamcartledge8641]

Mighty little tractors they were

[@TheInfoworks]

Indeed, and since I changed the vanes in the injection pump it starts better than it ever has. It' runs my firewood saw, cheers

[@dingnextstop]

Fantastic Andy! I love this kind of thing, anything old and still running is wonderful! I’m 70 now born in 1952 so about same age as the Tractor 😂…. My boat engine is an old BMC 1500d allegedly from a 1960’s Taxi and I’ve kept it going for 23 years… apparently this same engine was fitted to Nutfield tractors ? so I’m still able to get hold of glo plugs etc… great video Andy more of this wonderful stuff👍🏻. Andrew

[@TheInfoworks]

Andrew, those old BMC engines are reliable if maintained and great starters with the cold start button on the pump. I had a Leyland tractor that was a brilliant starter, cheers

[@kellymarieangeljohnson114]

Hi Andy I was amazed it started so quickly I think the warm air and keeping the battery charged was well worth it keep up the good work

[@TheInfoworks]

Hi, a combination of hear plugs, induction heat, and an above freezing day all helped,. Regular clean oil also helps, cheers

[@gregarcher4920]

Nice video thanks. Great little tractor. No trouble starting. Like that it's not been painted.

[@TheInfoworks]

Yes, no point painting it, better spending the money on filters and oil, cheers

[@paulthompson8467]

Great video my grandfather had a B250 for s lifetime great wee machine it did everything on his small farm in Ni 👍

[@TheInfoworks]

Paul, yes this one used to run a drum mower, turner and bailer. I've had it for a long time and just keep doing little fixes, cheers

[@WalkingTrashcan]

My family has the same tractor. I cant remember the serial number but it’s around that age. The engine takes a lot more effort to start but once it’s running it runs amazingly. I used it to keep my roads clear of snow most recently. One of the original front tires finally gave up on me while plowing which was sad.

[@TheInfoworks]

From memory the heater plugs are in series, so if one goes and none work, cheers

[@WalkingTrashcan]

@@TheInfoworks yes an i think they need to have another resistor in series with them too. I seem to recall burning several out by accident because we didnt have that in ant the current was too high. And I just checked the serial number and its 46193.

[@TheInfoworks]

@@WalkingTrashcan I'm not sure what year that is. On ours the resistor is part of the heater indicator on the dash. cheers

[@PavanreddyKancharla]

I will tell u the solution for cold start problem

[@penderkev]

The first B275s came out in 1959 with the old inline pump, you have the rotary pump so you have a 1960 or newer.

[@TheInfoworks]

Interesting, thanks for the comment, this must have had an engine change at some point. It has a yellow industrial back end with bull and hub brakes, cheers

[@donvoll2580]

Good day from Ontario Canada Yes we had 414 with glow plugs. I kinda like idea of heater , if it helps. Thanks

[@TheInfoworks]

Hi, yes they are necessary as they won't start without heat, my old Leyland just had a cold start button on the pump and it struck up easy every time, cheers

[@neilobusk]

omg Andy.........only 70 years old......? Bit new for you...😉 New years greetings... character and style and that's just the Tractor N x

[@TheInfoworks]

Cheers Neil, now on to firewood, forestry and tree planting.

[@JoeV-nq9ez]

I have a b275 serial 3905 , just rebuilt the engine & had i injection pump rebuilt, its all painted & decals & all. Wish i could show you oyictures here.

[@TheInfoworks]

Joe, you can create a video or slide show and load it up, cheers

[@ashok.Bishnoi.godara]

I have iH B275 model 1968 😎

[@TheInfoworks]

excellent, I assume it's a bit tidier than mine, hope you have subscribed, cheers

[@0930091]

Where from?

[@bobpaterson1845]

Sorry but they didn't start the B series with the 250 until 1956 and I think if memory serves me correctly the 275 was produced from 58 or 59 🤔

[@TheInfoworks]

Interesting, it's definitely and B275 and number 609, cheers

[@bobpaterson1845]

What is the full serial number I have N IH book with serial numbers and dates in it

[@TheInfoworks]

@@bobpaterson1845 Hi, I've just had another look, 609 are the only numbers, cheers

[@TzTMusic]

1958 - 1968

[@GxCarter]

Yeah, 600 series was year 1959

[@harwindersandhu7561]

It was built in England as in 1954 (gasoline engine) and in 1958 it was in the market with diesel engine. Launch year could be different in other nations. It was here in india in the year 1965. IH was in the joint venture with mahindra till 1985. Mahindra took it over and then it was launched as Mahindra B-275. My grandfather got one brand new on my first B'day in 1989. Year later mahindra introduced 444 also 575, 585 which were of 45hp and 50hp respectively with direct injection system. It use to come with same leyland gearbox until 1995. In 2010, our B 275 was nearly 32k hours done so we got the full engine restoration. This time it was with DI head, 89mm bore, upgraded FIP. From 35 hp 158nm, it was done to 50hp with 180nm torque and also upgraded it from single to dual clutch to make it work perfectly on all PTO implements. It became double in power and fuel efficiency too. In year 1992, mahindra relaunched B 275 in 3 cylinder DI engine which was 39hp this time. Till today mahindra B 275 is the first choice for small farmers and especially those who deal in haulage work due to brilliant grip and perfect power to torque ratio. On full load, it consume 3.0 to 3.5 ltr diesel per hour which makes it perfectly fuel efficient in 35 to 40hp category.

[@TheInfoworks]

Thanks for you detailed history, this tractor has in the past had another engine fitted, the back half is yellow and has both bull and drum brakes, the engine is red and it has a DPA injection pump, cheers

[@harwindersandhu7561]

@@TheInfoworks alright. I guess the changes might be done years before. Still the way you maintained it, even after six months and starting in the winter it took 10-15 seconds of round and it was on its power stroke in all "1-3-4-2 firing order". I remember it was challenging for us to get it start after 25k hours was done. I can surly say after seeing its starting that it is yet powerful enough to pull 3 plough @1400 to 1600 rpm. Appreciate your handling and maintaining this beautiful machine so nicely 👍👍🙏

The diesel version of the British built B-275 was built from 1958 to 1968. The petrol version was built from 1961 to 195. Both models had separate serial number ranges beginning at #501. This one was built in late 1958

[@TheInfoworks]

Michael, thanks for the info. The yellow rear end of this tractor has a 603 serial, however the red engine is later, where can I find the engine number? cheers.@@michaelhalsall5684
