: Would like information on international 350 with high clearance. It has larger wheels and was developed for cotton farming. I think. Fred, If you are talking about an International high clearance rather than a Farmall high clearance, it was not a cotton tractor. The International high clearance was basicly a International 350 Utility with a different front axle for clearance and the rear axle housings with straight axles like Farmalls and 38 inch rear wheels. It was sold for row crops primzarly in areas other than the cotton belt. The Farmall 350 and Farmall 450 were the type tractor used in the cotton belt, mostly with tricycle front ends. The Farmall high clearance had drop down housings on the rear axles and a high clearance wide front axle and was primarly a suger cane and other high crop tractor. We did sell a few Farmall high clearance tractors in the Mississippi Delta, but as far as I know we never sold a International high clearance. I also sold a few, 2 or 3, Farmall 504 high clearance's and 2 or 3 Farmall 656 high clearance tractors for bean pickers in the Mississippi Delta, but this was not very common. We also converted a number of tractors, M's, F400's, F450's, and F560's to high clearance tractors for spraying by using the cotton picker rear axle housings, cotton picker bull gears, cotton picker single front wheel, and reversable transmission top for low drum cotton pickers.
