   I think this model was one of the last Farmall’s made. Later tractors were produced under the International line. They made the transition from the classic, spring-mounted bucket seat and no fenders models like the H, the M, etc, to spring-mounted seats and fenders design, then finally to the last ones like the 560 shown here.

   As an aside, the original Farmall design was created by master art deco designer Raymond Loewy. The letter designations for different models were not chosen randomly. The "M" looked like a tractor when seen from the front and the "H" resembled the view from the back. Betcha didn’t know that.
