Farmall 100 Row-Crop Tractor (1954-1956)
The Farmall 100 is a row-crop tractor manufactured by International Harvester at the Louisville, Kentucky facility between 1954 and 1956. Part of the Farmall lineage, this two-wheel-drive machine was designed for versatile use in agricultural operations during the post-war era.

The tractor is powered by an International Harvester 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled inline gasoline engine with a displacement of 122.7 cubic inches (2.0 liters). It features a bore and stroke of 3.125 by 4.00 inches and a compression ratio of 6.5:1. Rated at 1400 engine RPM, the powerplant delivers approximately 22 horsepower. The fuel system is supported by an oil bath air cleaner, and the engine utilizes a 6-volt electrical starting system.

For implement attachment, the tractor is equipped with the proprietary IH Fast Hitch system, and it features a rear PTO providing 540 RPM at an engine speed of 1400 RPM.
