Hello, I just bought off ebay an International 240 Utility tractor. Seems to be in great working condition. I've not seen many of these tractors over the years. I was wondering if anyone out there that may have one, have any feedback or opinions on them. Many thanks. Scott

My blood is as green as it gets but I bought a 240U 2 years ago because the price was right. It came with a Wanger loader. I'm not a fan of the 2 point fast hitch and I could use more weight in the rear to balance the loader but I use that tractor almost every day because it is so darn handy. I found a set of the ARPS half tracks and made a set of brackets to adapt them and now I can go anywhere no matter how much snow we get.

Thanks for the reply. My 240 doesn't have a front end loader. I've heard of guys adding weight to a carryall attached to hitch in rear to help balance loader.

About the time I graduated high school and started college--that would be around 1972-"73--my dad either bought or traded for a 240 utility. It was a fine little tractor for what it was...power comparable to a Super C, not quite as much as an H...and the live PTO was a pretty fine feature, as well as the hydraulics. But ours had the "industrial" 3-point hitch, in which the arms were made in a fixed triangle...there was no lateral, independent movement of the arms, and it made it a b*tch to hook up the SideWinder 5x5 rotary mower Dad used in his custom mowing business.

After a couple of years, Dad got tired of fighting that industrial hitch, cleaned and painted the tractor, and sold it with a brand NEW SideWinder behind it. But other than the hitch, it was a fine little tractor...within the scope of what it was designed to do.

I have the same type 3-point hitch. Overall so far I"m please with it, but hitch is a pain at times. thanks for the reply. Scott
