The Farmall Cub was International Harvester's smallest tractor, built for small-acreage farmers, market gardeners, and hobbyists as a mechanical replacement for a horse or mule. With a 32-year production run from 1947 to 1979, it stands among the longest continuously produced tractor models in American history.
