International 4 wheel drives (4100 and 4156)


The 4156 was the 2 model of the IH 4 wheel drive line. The 4156 ran from 1969 to 1971. The 4156 was the power house of its day with its engine horsepower rated at 140 hp. The 4100 and the 4156 shared the technology of the IH's big row crop tractors the 806 and the 1206. The only difference between the 4100 and the 4156 was the decals. IH 4 wheel drives were the first 4 wheel drives that many farmers owned because they were so good. The rigid frame design gave the operator a choice of 2 or 4 wheel drive steering. The 4156 had a 100 gallon fuel tank that extended the work day in the field. A 3 point hitch, cab and PTO were optional. Front weights were necessary to maintain the tractors balance and traction.
