The McCormick International B-275 was imported from England where it was built by International Harvester Great Britain. While International Harvester’s American-made tractors of the 1950s used the McCormick brand name for row-crop models and International for standard-tread and utility wheel tractors and crawlers, the B-275 used both names, with McCormick in small letters and International in larger letters. The B-275 was roughly the size and weight of the International 340 Utility but was a totally different British design. The engine was the British built International BD-144 engine a 143ci 4-cylinder diesel. The tractor had a dual-range 8-speed transmission and a differential lock, not normally available on American tractors at the time.
