The Farmall 100 was introduced in 1955 as an update to the A-1. It was identical to the A-1 in all respects, but with a new grille and raised chrome lettering.[13] Engines could still be configured for gasoline, kerosene or distillate.[14] Total production was 16,191, with an additional 1,057 high-clearance models. The IH 100 was produced as an industrial tractor.[15][16]
Farmall 130
The Farmall 130 was produced from 1956 to 1958. It differed from the 100 in having white trim and a higher compression ratio.[17] The IH 130 was produced as an industrial tractor, and a high-crop version, called the 130 HiClear, was produced.[18][19] About 15,000 130s were produced, selling for about $2,000.[20]
Farmall 140
The Farmall 140 was similar to the 130, but with a 12-volt electrical system in lieu of six volts. It was produced from 1958 to 1973. In 1963 it was restyled in a squared-off manner to match larger Farmall tractors.[21] Total production was 66,290. The IH 140 was produced as an industrial tractor, and a high-crop version, called the 140 Hi-Clear, was produced.[22][23][24] Sale prices were between $2,400 and $4,300.[20]

Comparable products to the A included the Ford 9N, Allis-Chalmers C, John Deere H, and Case VC.[25] The Massey Pacer was similar to the 100.[13] The Ford 640 was comparable to the 130.[17] The Ford 651 and Oliver Super 66 were similar to the 140 and 240.[26]
