The IH 240, a testament to International Harvester's engineering prowess, was a versatile and reliable tractor that found its place on farms and ranches across the globe. Introduced in 1958, it was part of the Farmall series, known for its robust build and dependable performance. The 240 was powered by a 4-cylinder, 240 cubic inch gasoline engine, delivering around 40 horsepower. This made it suitable for a wide range of tasks, including plowing, disking, cultivating, and hauling. Its compact size and maneuverability made it ideal for smaller farms and tight spaces.
The IH 240 was designed for user-friendliness, boasting easy-to-operate controls and a comfortable operator station. Its sturdy construction ensured long life and resistance to wear and tear. The tractor's ability to handle a variety of tasks and its enduring reliability made it a favorite amongst farmers. While production ceased in 1963, the legacy of the IH 240 persists, with many of these tractors still operational today. The availability of a comprehensive Preventive Maintenance Manual, as described, further supports this legacy, providing owners with the knowledge and tools to keep their IH 240 running smoothly for years to come.
