Farmall tractors (built by IH) were the leading tractor in our neighborhood. 
But for a single Ford, they were the only brand used by my family (I 
remember a model C, F, and H). My dad even had one of their trucks for years 
-- an International.

I always thought they had one of the great logos

the company initials looked like their tractors viewed from nose on--color 
and all
