The military used a lot of those tractors during WW2. They also used big Case tractors with dual wheels for pulling artillery weapons to the firing range. They had hand clutches and would run very fast on the road. Hal

I never saw an A being used for towing those heavy artillery guns. They used a lot of those big Case tractors for towing them. The military bought a lot of tractors including dozers. Never saw any IH dozers, but we had plenty of Cat's.

We had a war surplus TD18 for clearing farm land after the war. It had been in Burma building roads and airstrips. It had a special high gear which gave it a theoretical top speed of 18mph. Dad said it tried it once and he was terrified as the tops of the tracks rose up so high.

The government always accepted the low bid so whom ever was the low bidder got the contract. They usually bought in large lots, so they usually received a discount. I was in during the Korean War and we had some of the equipment that was used in WW2. In the late 50's and 60's that changed with new trucks, some weren't as good as the old ones. The tanks were a big improvement.
The trucks had those multi-fuel engines from
Continental and they smoked so bad they were outlawed in Germany. Then came the Oshkosh nice trucks. Hal

Hal, my unit had HD 16M's that we took to Vietnam. There was a lot of Cat's there but were no match for the power of the HD 16's. The HD 16's had constant Hyd problems though. Sorry for the change of subjectNorm

No. The Farmall A has a designation of FAA and they wouldn't have been used by the military. All Farmall A's have the FAA. All of the International A's would have an IAA prefix.

That is the designation for an International industrial A.
