IH SBWD 6

Doncaster built IH from the 1950's. They were well liked and the slow revving, long stroke engine was a really good puller, once you got it started, it took a lot of heat. But IH did not move on in design and it was left behind in the hydraulics department as other manufacturers fitted draft control, bigger pumps and increased flow rates to cope with changing requirements.

No.

No.

That seems like the issue that could have kept attention on them. Were the 3XX and 4XX tractors imported other than by individuals?
