Super MV-TA Hi - Clearance. The first one built

Welcome to Tom's IH Antique Tractor Website. Tractors have always been a fascination to me, especially the International Harvester models. This started in 1957 when my Dad bought the first farm and a part of the deal was a 1944 Farmall H that was kept in the drive-through corn crib.

The very first tractor Dad had before we bought the farm, was a Case VC. It was the first tractor I ever drove and I have searched and recently found one for the memories it would bring back.The next tractor was a Ford 8N (Dad still has it) that will not pull the hat off your head!! I am not looking for one!!!!!!!!

The first "real" tractor Dad bought (in 1959) was a used Farmall 300; we thought we really had a tractor!! We turned up soil that had never seen the light of day!! I have that tractor, today, as a part of the collection. See in the shed.

What am I doing besides chasing down tractors all over the country? Well, I retired as a school administrator about 12 years ago , do some farming on the several hundred acres we have in South-central Ohio, plus served as a township trustee for 10 years and an emergency medical technician on the local rescue squad for 32 years. The antique tractor bug bit me several years ago and it is a hobby that got out-of-hand, with over 150 Internationals in the collection, plus 14 Cases (remember the VC) . Many of these tractors earn their keep on the farm today.

I am always looking for the next one for the collection, and specialize in the "Super Series" thus the label "The Super Man" was put on me by an auctioneer. I also like 350' s and 450's of any configuration. I sell some too as I get a better one for the collection, can't pass a bargain or have a "Senior Moment". I show many of these tractors, but can't haul them all. The web is the best way for me to share them with others, and in case you don't already know, hauling tractors is work!! Thanks for visiting my site. I had to do away with the guest book because of the sleazy drug pushers, scammers, etc... who were leaving messages.
