Hi-Utility was not stamped on any emblem after 1962. This same emblem is found on the tall Farmall version of Hi-Clear in the 504 series. The next series to have the same chassis options was the International 504 Utility which when equipped as a hi-utility was stamped "HI-CLEAR on the emblem. I have at least one of each emblem here at this time. It came in 3 engine versions, (gas) was designated "HI-UTILITY", the diesel one was stamped "DIESEL HI-UTILITY and the lp model was embossed "L.P.GAS. The 460 International Utility series that has the longer front drops and rear bar axles with 38" rubber were also called "Hi-Utility" on the aluminum oval emblem.
Can't beat the old school IH hydros! Our big iron for harrowing is a 4166, crab steer with DT-436.Įason is real close, but not quite. This tractor has paid for itself 1000 times. The distance from NH was too much to make a deal.Īs well, I have a '71 826 Diesel Hydro with a cab. It was faded to nothing, but it was all there and straight. I saw one for sale a year or two ago listed in Arkansas or Alabama or something for not much money. I'm a strawberry farmer and that would be every bit as good if not better than my utilities for turning at the ends of the rows. I see in your signature below your post you have a 656 Hydro Diesel Row-Crop. Thanks Eason, I was quite happy to come across the 350 HU. When the 460 came along they were called International hi-clears and the early in the 656's production they were called International row crops. The 350 was the first of the line of hi- utilities and the only one to be called officially hi-utility. I'd be really curious what the serial number, or when the first one was built? My 9075 must be near the beginning of em I'd guess. Some excellent facts on this thread about the build #'s of the 350 HU. Talk about a bullet proof front end loader for a farm! Model LM-75 with forks on it for our sawmill and an LMS-75 with bucket for scooping firewood. Anyone know what a Trojan Loader is? (Farmall M engine, I-6 rearend, assembled backwards to be a front end loader.) We have two of those as well. If you can work on one, you can work on em all. I'm not planning a show tractor, I'll be putting my 350hu to work along with my, combined with my dad, two 300u, two W-4, W-6super, and 350u. No power steering, no t/a, no live pto, but does have fast hitch and hydraulics. A hack job of making it 12 volt, but that is minor to repair. It has sat outside so its faded, but not rusted. Other than that the tin is all straight as an arrow. The tin work has only one fault, a slight bend in the left fender. (A=55 B=56 C=57 D=58.) The tractor is in great shape and an incredible find. It is serial # 9075 which puts it in the '57 model year. I became a member of the 350 HU club last fall (Nov '12) Although it has been said that the 350hu was only made in 1958, I am about 90% sure mine is a '57.
