It was purchased by the collector Michele Dentis in Turin in 2011.
The market for this small tractor was small area farmers, and it was designed by Farmall engineers in the post-World War II years to be used as a substitute for a horse or mule for agricultural purposes. The tractor was shifted to the left, while the driver’s seat and steering wheel were on the right. This concept was known as ‘CultiVision’ and ensured a clear view while working in the fields.
International Harvester also built Cubs for Europe at a factory in St. Dizier, France, from 1955 onwards.
As for restoration, the original tractor was already in good condition, and repairs only involved the bodywork as well as routine and non-routine maintenance to the engine.
