Industrials are often used in start & stop operations and foot throttle make it much easer to ease up to something or vary speed. Most industrials also have a clutch brake to aid in shifting.

The only practical reason I see is the heavy duty front axle. A lot of A's, etc were sold to highway depts for mowing, sometimes over rough terrain, which probably needed the heavier axle. Other International industrial tractors had more differences, such as the I4 and I6, when compared to the W4 and W6. There were also a few International H's and/or M's (I have seen pictures of one or the other, don't remember which) which were designed more towards commercial applications instead of farming. The A, SA, 100, 130 probably differed the least from the agricultural versions, and the row crop equipment also fit those models.

The Farmall 100 is a farm tractor and the International 100 is a industrial tractor. Same as like the Farmall A is farm tractor and the International A is a industrial tractor. The International versions have a heavy duty square front axle standard which is only optional on the Farmalls and have a foot accelerator as standard. Also several industrial tread tires were available from factory that were not available on Farmall. Some other industrial options were only available on the Internationals. During that era, big and small tractors, Farmall's were row crops and Internationals were Industrial.

Why a foot throttle (on any tractor)? I have driven JD's with foot throttles, the only advantage I could see was in road gear, where you could drive it sort of like a car, and get off the gas quicker if there was an emergency. Also the JD's would overrev maybe 200 rpm over the governed speed giving a mph or two more. I see no advantage at slower speeds though. I suppose it's what you get used to. In close quarters with a foot throttle you could vary the speed, but I'm used to using the clutch for that.

I have a Deere 3020 with a foot throttle and love it! One day I may make one for my Farmall 504. I like your quote, "In close quarters with a foot throttle you could vary the speed, but I'm used to using the clutch for that." You just keep riding the clutch and replace it a few times. It's fun to split a tractor apart. Growing up I got my ear thumped several times for riding the clutch and soon got out of that habit.

I didn't say to ride the clutch -- when hooking up an implement it is easy to use the clutch to vary the speed, and ease the tractor back, while using the other foot on the brakes--this is for very short periods of time. I don't think that hurts anything. I grew up using a hand throttle, hard to break old habits. I don't remember a clutch ever being replaced on my dad's tractors. I have also spent considerable time on a 3020, never used the foot throttle, except in road gear. It is a good tractor.
