About this object
Introduced in 1947 by International Harvester, the Farmall Cub was designed to bring affordable mechanization to America's small farms. Its innovative Cultivision design—with the operator seated to the left of the engine—gave farmers an excellent view of the rows they were cultivating. Powered by a dependable 4-cylinder gasoline engine producing about 10 horsepower, the Cub could pull plows, cultivate crops, mow fields, and power dozens of other implements. More than just a tractor, it became a trusted partner on family farms across the country. Nearly 80 years later, the Farmall Cub remains one of America's most loved and collectible antique tractors.
