If you didn't notice, IH liked to move slow in introducing new technology in those days. They produced essentially the same tractor from 1939 through 1958, adding on one or two new features with every "new" series. I've always said that the Farmall 450 is the ultimate "bolt stuff on an old M" tractor. Maybe IH wanted to stretch out the innovations to keep farmers buying new tractors every couple of years. Maybe they thought if they introduced it all at once, farmers would reject the tractors because they were such a dramatic change from what they were used to. IH had the technology years before it was released... The "06" series could've been released in 1959 according to one history book I have, but IH decided to go with a "transition" series, i.e. the 460/560, presumably to get farmers used to the idea of a 6-cylinder engine before dropping the whole modern operator platform on them???
