Nice tractor --- definately working tractor not show, but what is with all of that metal gears, chain drive, and rods/shaft/spindles on the side? Did that function as to hold an implement or something? Anyone explain?

I believe those chains drove a side dresser (fertilizer spreader) for the cultivators. It puts a bit of fertilizer next to the plants that you are cultivating.

My father-in-law has the same setup on a Super C.

That 200 looks a LOT like a newer C. Are they the same? When did IH start using the nmbers, instead of the letters?

IH switched to number series around 1955.

Ingersoll, the 200 is basically just a newer superC, 123 engine and fast hitch. They were made 55-56, then became the 230.
