Location: Drumheller, Alberta, Canada
Features: Albert Jensen and his fully restored 1961 International 4300 four wheel drive tractor. The tractor essentially was 'ahead of its time' as there were no 300 horsepower 4 wheel drives around. Only about 300 units were ever built and sold as farmers in the early 60's just weren't ready for that kind of horsepower on most farms. At the time of our visit. Jensen said he was only aware of 3 such units in Canada.
Having one with the factory cab made it even more rare.
I hope he puts it back on.
Love the video! My dad was a IH dealer in the 50's-70's in Iowa and I remember seeing one of these in SD. In addition to tractors and all the various implements, we sold trucks, pickups, and Scout. Great years!
I am amazed that only 50 or so were made. Typical for being ahead of it’s time.
Noticed around 1:30 the International pickup and couple Scouts in the background. International pickups only my dad would drive. Great truck learning to drive with too.
shoulda kept the cab in my opinion
That is pretty special, I got really excited when I heard it was from Scottsbluff since that's where I'm from.
I worked for IH in the 70s and my manager Ray Garlock of Lubbock District had begun his career doing plowing demos with a 4300 - I think it was a 7 bottom moldboard plow. I only saw one 4300 myself in the El Paso area around 1978 - not many survived but it was ahead of it's time in many ways.
That's the same engine that's in the TD-25. My dad and I rebuilt the engine in our TD-25 right after we bought. It is a great engine and starts as good as a some newer cars. Only thing wrong with the engine is finding parts. It cost dad 2k for a gasket set for the engine.
be nice to hear it.
Very nice! We had a 4366 IH.
only 44 IHC 4300 were ever built. All were custom order. The farmer had to go to a regional deal, place there order and pay, then wait for the 4300 to be built. The model had a 10-bottom custom plow available to them exclusively.
Reminds me of my Hough Loaders ja ja ja
Mike Skidmore Built by the Hough division of IH and is heavily influenced by Payloader design.
What brand of drive/steer axles does this tractor use - are they sourced from IHs' Industrial side or are they perhaps sourced from Clarke Axles ? Anyone know ?
Alright gents, whatdya think she cost to buy and restore? I'm guessing hes got quarter Mill in it. Hell I'm not complaining I'm gonna sleep a little better tonight knowing that history is kept.
And when that EMP goes off and all out microchips are fried, at least someone will have a tractor we can copy!
How rare is it and how many still exist today? Cool old tractor by the way!
Jason Shipley there were 44 built (despite the video description saying 300.) no idea now many left.
Odious Ktenology the video was incorrect. There wasn’t 300 built dumbass
Odious Ktenology do the research instead of calling me the dumbass. There was only 43 or 44 built because they were too big, too soon
Odious Ktenology the first serial number was87AH100. The last was 87AH1045. Do your research before calling me a dumbass. I did watch the video.
I watched the video and it plainly said there were less than 50 built LMAO 😋
Why would u take the cab off. Back in the day sure they made more noise but they could put a seal on it
Subsoiler looks almost like shanks you would see on a D8 Cat.
Funny that was considered big just 50 some odd years ago. Labor is so expensive now field equipment is all bigger on modern corporate farms. I take articulating tractors for granted since everybody uses them now but the lil organic farms and hobby/ heritage farms (ones where dad works a FT job also
What's it worth?
It looks better with the ROPS

Right
Wouldn't she be ideal for a diet feeder, or pottering about the yard with a scraper or an aul transport box.
IHC RULES.
Right? Right? Right? Jesus beavis! Do you know or not? Stop asking people to agree with you when speaking. So annoying. What a verbal crutch, like saying “um” all the time.
That's how Canadians talk you hoser.
@@stevehuston9831 Damn. Looks like someone got bitch slapped and still aint happy about it.
@@ksr9t Damn. Looks like someone's got fecal matter for brains.
They are made to be used. Use it or stick it in a museum. I don't respect this.
It's his time and money to spend. Just because you don't appreciate a machine that rare and so far ahead of its time, doesn't mean it's not a show piece. That's more than likely the finest example of a 4300 in existence, keeping it in such good condition will give future generations a good look at decades past.
Your Respect is irrelevant.
