This colorful history chronicles the final three decades of International operations, including the six-cylinder_s marketplace domination and the abundance of model choices in the 1960s, the redefinition of farm tractor power and comfort in the 1970s, and the end of an era in the 1980s. Model and design changes are highlighted in scenic color photographs showcasing faithfully restored Number Series tractors throughout the US. Filled with period ads, archival photos, plus an appendix of serial and parts numbers.
