tractor rehab

[pochologuillen]

Hello to all!!! I needed a tractor suitable for a sugarcane farm and checked new models available, but because of cost considerations decided to fully rehabilitate my old IH 784 tractor. New models too complicated for me and not confident of durability. Luckily most parts available. Hope to get rehab done soon.

Started my rehab plan by checking out Sparex and AI Parts, but it appears that there are three types of 784's but don't know for sure what mine is. I guess that it boils down to tractor identification. Luckily the identification plate of my tractor is intact. The plate reads

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. OF GREAT BRITAIN LTD.
LONDON
MODEL: 1-734
SERIAL NO. B530002B010116-X
MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN

Problem is I don't know how to interpret the serial number. I tried to search tractordata.com and other sites but it didn't help. Can anyone help me interpret the serial number? I would appreciate any help very much. Thanks guys!!!

I'd go to the redpower forum or Ytmag - both have guys running and restoring vintage IH tractors. Your tractor is a British model, and might be different from US models.
