Wendy, yes, my brother-in-law has a W400 (gas) and of course I just love ANY wheatland tractor. Acording to Guy Fay's data book on International Harvester tractors the W400 was only produced for three years, 1954, 1955, 1956. Production totaled 2,070 units with but 9 made in '54. These low numbers make them pretty scarce. By comparison, the Farmall 400 had a production run of the same period totaling over 31,000 units. Of course being in Illinois is even more uncommon. I'm sure with the popularity of tractor collecting, more and more are being brought back from the "western" states. What state is your dad's tractor located in and did he farm with it or aquire it just to restore and show? Is it gas, diesel, or LP? During the '60's and early '70's, we did a lot of haying around our area with a Farmall 560 and an Oliver 88. I remember one year the 560 was "down" and the 88 had the front mounted pipe cultivator on it, so we borrowed the W400 to bale with. It was a whole new experience to bale with a tractor that took ACRES to turn around. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Jim T

Elliott said while this
