The International R series replaced the L-Series in 1953. It was mostly a facelift of the light and medium models, but also a remarkable set of changes. The busy front style seen on L series was cleanly and easily redesigned to become the R line. In place of the ornate grille of the L line was a simple retangular opening with a tapered bar running across the center, and the IH "man on a tractor" logo planted firmly and obviously in the center. The heavy duty models (R-185 and higher) were changed only slightly in appearance, in that four of the seven vertical bars in the upper grille were removed.

  • The International R series replaced the L-Series in 1953. It was mostly a facelift of the light and medium models, but also a remarkable set of changes. The busy front style seen on L series was cleanly and easily redesigned to become the R line. In place of the ornate grille of the L line was a simple retangular opening with a tapered bar running across the center, and the IH "man on a tractor" logo planted firmly and obviously in the center. The heavy duty models (R-185 and higher) were changed only slightly in appearance, in that four of the seven vertical bars in the upper grille were removed. There were actually few changes in the R line, other than facelifts. Of course, there was a wide range of engines, 29 to be precise, which were available. Both Cummins and Buda Diesels were now offered in the RD-190 and RD-200 Series, whereas only Cummins had been available, and even then only in models larger than the 190/200 Series.
