B-450 - I Want One

I want one! It's a British built (when they used to do those types of things :shock: ) B-450. It appears to have the same sheet metal as the American Farmall M but was made in 1962 (pictured model anyway). It had live hydraulics, a direct start diesel engine, a three point hitch, and large front headlights mounted next to the grille (pictured).

I'm pretty sure this is the only tractor I've ever seen with McCormick, Farmall, and International all on the side.

I should have tried harder to take a picture of the back deck and three point system but didn't. Sorry.

I should note that the HTA in the background is of course not factory and was prominently notated as such and the sign described how they are commonly made. Very cool place.

If it had a TA and live PTO, it would be the ultimate evolution of the M.

I just stumbled on these pictures of what appear to be B-450 standard tread versions. They have no accompanying information.
One appears to be a later version with a more squared grille and an updated steering rod. Looks like the later one may have picked up a fuel filter too.

The B-450 was the British equivalent to the US Super MD & Super WD-6 tractors,
It was built from 1958 to 1970 by IH Great Britain.
These tractors were only built as diesels and used a 264 cubic inch 4 cylinder engine. The engine was started by glow plugs rather than by the "gasoline start , then switch to diesel" operation used on the US built Super MD etc. They were rated at 50 BHP which was quite a powerful tractor by British standards.
There was always a bit of confusion about these tractors as the Standard Tread style ( International B-450) was styled similar to the US International W-400 Diesel while the Row Crop style (Farmall B-450) resembled the US Farmall Super MD.
The B-450 ("B" = British) never had a Torque Amplifier transmission or Fast Hitch. The B-450 used a European style 3 point hitch.
A small batch of Farmall B-450 tractors was imported into the US and sold in the South as replacement for MD & Super MD tractors. The Standard Tread style was never sold in North America.
The B-450 was mainly sold in Britain, continental Europe and exported to such countries such as New Zealand and South Africa.
