I recently aquired an International 350 HU; Hi-Utility. Just wondered how collectible these tractors are and if anyone knows how many of these were produced. Also would like some idea as to how valuable it might be. It is a gas engine,has power steering and T/A, with fast hitch. 38 inch rear tires and a high clearance front axle.

Sheet metal is all good and straight including fenders. Everything seems to work good on it. Has any one see any of these sell recently?

Or advertised for sale and prices? Any information would be greatly appreaciated. I asked the question about how many when i bought my 350 hi utility a couple years ago. The reply from wes, who also has one: Wes’s reply: FROM The farmall works production shipment and demand report,dated oct 31, 1958 I350 HU GAS 871 US 6 CANADA,877 TOTAL 350 HU GAS I 350HU LPG 55 US I350 D HU 73 US 1005 TOTAL WERE MADE 6 WHEN TO CANADA i gave $2600 in a private sale.

Almost new back tires made the deal better. With only 1000 made, they are a lot more collectible than most models. Thanks alot!!! Anyone got anymore info???? BMS Really don't have any info that hasn't been reported other than I understood the tractor was used in tobacco production and mosty sold in the south.

I do have a HI Utility 350 sn16115 it is a gas with 2 point, TA, power steering, live PTO. Also have a standard 350 Diesel utility sn2852 with 2 point, PS, TA, live pto and a 350 Diesel Wheatland sn 10260 with TA and live pto. There are at least 5 other members here that have the 350 Hi Utility. Maybe we should try and get a list of all these tractors? The Hi-Utility, according to author Guy Fay, was produced for Shade Tobacco farming. It also found its' way into northern Wisconsin in the Ginseng market.

Anytime the production numbers are less than 1,000, it make a good collector piece. I have seen only a few 350 Hi-Utilities at any Natl. Redpower Show. It makes a good conversation starter!

It's a great show tractor and is not too large to haul around. My serial number is 14,669. If there is enough interest, I'd volunteer to keep the serial number list.

The 'production shipment' list you have given here is better than any Serial Number list. This appears to be a list of actual tractors built rather than serial numbers issued. According to Guy Fay's books there were lost serial number plates and other production glitches that stop IH serial numbers being treated as a 100% accurate record. The 350 Hi-Utility serial numbers are included amongst serial numbers for the whole I-350 Utility production, therefore 'hiding' details about there numbers. This is the first break-up of Gas, Diesel and LPG versions I have seen for the early U.S. Built utilities Regards from Michael Halsall.

I became a member of the 350 HU club last fall (Nov '12) Although it has been said that the 350hu was only made in 1958, I am about 90% sure mine is a '57. It is serial # 9075 which puts it in the '57 model year. Also, all of the castings are 'C' date. (A=55 B=56 C=57 D=58.) The tractor is in great shape and an incredible find. The tin work has only one fault, a slight bend in the left fender. Other than that the tin is all straight as an arrow.

It has sat outside so its faded, but not rusted. The only issue is the wiring. A hack job of making it 12 volt, but that is minor to repair. No power steering, no t/a, no live pto, but does have fast hitch and hydraulics. Just bare bones but runs exceptional.

I'm not planning a show tractor, I'll be putting my 350hu to work along with my, combined with my dad, two 300u, two W-4, W-6super, and 350u. Ayuh, we like IH iron. If you can work on one, you can work on em all. Anyone know what a Trojan Loader is? (Farmall M engine, I-6 rearend, assembled backwards to be a front end loader.) We have two of those as well.

Model LM-75 with forks on it for our sawmill and an LMS-75 with bucket for scooping firewood. Look em up if you're interested. Talk about a bullet proof front end loader for a farm! Some excellent facts on this thread about the build #'s of the 350 HU. I'd be really curious what the serial number, or when the first one was built?? My 9075 must be near the beginning of em I'd guess. The 350 was the first of the line of hi- utilities and the only one to be called officially hi-utility.

When the 460 came along they were called International hi-clears and the early in the 656's production they were called International row crops. Eason Thanks Eason, I was quite happy to come across the 350 HU. I see in your signature below your post you have a 656 Hydro Diesel Row-Crop. British Standard 4994 Download Itunes here. Made me drool thinking about it. I'm a strawberry farmer and that would be every bit as good if not better than my utilities for turning at the ends of the rows.

I saw one for sale a year or two ago listed in Arkansas or Alabama or something for not much money. It was faded to nothing, but it was all there and straight. The distance from NH was too much to make a deal.

As well, I have a '71 826 Diesel Hydro with a cab. This tractor has paid for itself 1000 times. Run it almost every day. Berger Seeing Is Believing Pdf To Jpg here.

All original paint and everything. Not a dent on her. Had it since new. Can't beat the old school IH hydros! Our big iron for harrowing is a 4166, crab steer with DT-436. Eason is real close, but not quite. The 460 International Utility series that has the longer front drops and rear bar axles with 38' rubber were also called 'Hi-Utility' on the aluminum oval emblem.

It came in 3 engine versions, (gas) was designated 'HI-UTILITY', the diesel one was stamped 'DIESEL HI-UTILITY and the lp model was embossed 'L.P.GAS. HI-UTILITY' under the 460 numbers. I have at least one of each emblem here at this time. The next series to have the same chassis options was the International 504 Utility which when equipped as a hi-utility was stamped 'HI-CLEAR on the emblem.

This same emblem is found on the tall Farmall version of Hi-Clear in the 504 series. Hi-Utility was not stamped on any emblem after 1962.

The 606 series did not state Hi-Clear on the emblem even though it had Hi-Clear components. Any HC version 606 emblem that you may see is not 'entirely' original. I know the guy that augments all of them.(wink) The early 656 Utility chassis, when Hi-Utility components were used were stamped 'HI-CLEAR' until the 544 came out. After that timeline (unknown to me) no emblems were ever 'stamped' Hi-Clear. Then both the 544 and 656's equipped with hi-utility components were labeled as 'ROW CROP' with a (decal) on the 'standard' version blank-top emblem above the numbers. Here is the chronological evolution of the Hi-Utility chassis from 1957-1971 up through the 656.

There are a few others after 1972 that I'm not versed enough to detail that I'm sure others can elaborate on. 4 cylinder engine. International 350 series, International 504 series, International 544 series 6 cylinder engine.

International 460 series, International 606 series except LPG, International 656 series.
