## The International Harvester B414: A Workhorse of the Fields The International Harvester B414, often referred to as the B-414, was a versatile and robust tractor that graced the fields of North America from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s. This tractor, produced under the McCormick brand, was a testament to International Harvester's commitment to crafting dependable and hard-working machines. The B414 was a successor to the popular B-275 and B-300 models, offering an upgrade in power and features. While not as widely known as its predecessor, the B-414 carved its own niche in the agricultural landscape, becoming a reliable companion for farmers and ranchers alike. The B414 was powered by a four-cylinder, 170 cubic inch gasoline engine, boasting an impressive 41 horsepower. This engine, coupled with a three-speed transmission, gave the tractor a robust power delivery and the ability to tackle a wide range of tasks. The B414 was offered in various configurations, including a standard model with rear-wheel drive and a "Farmall Cub" variant equipped with all-wheel drive for enhanced traction. The "Cub" design featured a distinctive narrow frame, making it ideal for navigating tight spaces and maneuvering around obstacles. The B414 also boasted a robust construction, featuring a heavy-duty chassis and a rugged steel body, ensuring longevity and resilience in demanding agricultural environments. This rugged design, combined with its efficient power output, made the B414 a true workhorse, readily handling tasks such as plowing, cultivating, harvesting, and hauling.
