robbo Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 In its day the IH 674 was a big tractor, 78hp and was the prime mover on quite a few farms round here. It was the largest of the World Wide Series at the time. It's amazing how small it looks today and no more than a yard tractor for most people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said you need to go and look before buying ha ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
