Was there any major differences between the A and the B other than the front end. We don't have very many if any B's around here and the pictures I have seen they look to be the same basic tractor.

"Cultivision" was a marketing slogan, but at the same time it was something "real." The driver looked right down one row of corn or whatever he was cultivating. I had a chance to use both an A and a B belonging to neighbors, and I thought they were delightful to drive. The A is extremely agile, because it is narrow and short.
The B is just as easy to drive, but is kind of odd-looking because the seat and platform are on the right side of the transmission. I always thought it strange that IHC went retrograde on that rear axle design--a fixed axle was one of the drawbacks of the original Farmall and F-20/30. It took them awhile before they decided to put the sliding wheels back on when they went to the C.

They are the same basic tractor in many ways. The A has a wide front end and narrow width rear end. The B has the narrow front and wide rear stance.

Same engine, transmission, final drives. Different front steering box and front wheel stance and the B has a 22 inch differential shaft on each side of the differental housing, where the A has an 18 inch differential shaft on the right side and none on the left side.

The A was sold as a one row cultivator and the B was sold as a two row cultivator. Both were considered "Cultivision", which in reality was just a marketing slogan.

I agree, Gene. Red Dave "nailed it". Hard to improve on an answer like his.
