1961 International 240 Utility

So we have been looking for a new tractor to replace our Ford 8N for a while and yesterday bought our new International 240 Utility tractor… we are probably going to clean this up and when I do I’ll update this page… Here are some pics and a video

I scanned my manuals… two of them did not have copyright notices and the other was 1962 which from my research is out of copyright… If anyone finds that this is incorrect please let me know

Manuals :

Maintenance Manual
Operators Manual
Shop Manual
