The first round of numbers were horsepower indications. The 10-20 was called that becuase it was rated at 10 HP for the drawbar and 20 HP for the belt pulley. Many of the early tractors for different companys went with this style of naming. Farmers knew what they were buying. When the letter series came out I guess IH wanted to be able to upgrade and improve the tractors without having to change the model designation to meet the new specs. The second round of numbers, 100, 200, 300, and 400, had nothing to do with the output of the tractor, it was just a model number. Like my Dodge Ram 2500. Guy Fay is definitely the expert in this area.
