Ron: There was a BMD, Super BMD and a B-450. All had the similar sheet metal and chassis of the M. They were all direct start with glow plugs. The time frame on these tractors is much different from North American production, BMD was built until 1955, Super BMD until 1960 roughly and B-450 until about 1967. They never had IPTO or TA but did have a factory 3 point hitch. I think that factory 3 point was SBMD and B-450 only. Some of these tractors were imported into the southern US and a few W series were imported into western Canada. The problem with them you couldn't start them much below freezing. At that point IH had already imported the smaller B-250 and B-275 in to Canada. You couldn't get the first ones going from Nov. until April. I know one guy bought two of these, said it good that he kept his SC for a pup-tow start. That was to get them going in summer. Great little tractors but just not climatized for northern part of North America. I think there were two items that created the problem, first British fuel, and second upon rebuild these tractors were changed for climate. Looking again at that time frame, we got the 6 cylinder diesels in 460 and 560 before the B-450 was built. Those basically are the reasons not many of these tractors made it here. By the way that BMD engine was manufactured in Britain but block was same specs as the US MD.
