It refers to the sheetmetal that was added mostly as decoration, although the hood and gas tank were both decorative and useful. Here is a shot of an F20 and an H side by side to compare. The F20 would be refered to as unstyled, and the H as styled, although this term is usually used on john deeres, since they changed to a styled tractor without changing the model names, and farmall changed from the F and number designation to letters when they styled the tractors.

Styled tractors came out in the late thirties with sheet metal over the radiator and engine, to join in the trend of style that was affecting cars and everything else. 'compare the Farmall H, with earlier F-20 for example. Raymond Lowey (I believe) was hired to redesign the look of the International and Farmall tractors, and he also did the logo, designs for dealerships, etc.

Bill B and little john have given you the classical answers to your questions and they are certainly accurate. My answer would have been IHC has always offered "Styled" tractors and the green things remain "unstyled" to this day. And you didn't ask but they also have very little class. LOL
