The first fully-Australian-made tractors were not built at the Geelong works until 1948.
International Harvester's Farmall brand of tractors were built in France between 1951 and 1964.

A range of models were produced, many based on the Farmall C, with special narrow-track models for use in vineyards. The offering gradually broadened, with adaptations of IH Germany models. The Farmall brand was phased out in 1964, with subsequent machines bearing the International Harvester brand.
