Extra Info about these
(Info From online)
The K-7 replaced the International D-40 in 1941. In mid-1947 the International K-7 became the KB-7. The only external changes were moving of the triple-diamond badge from the front of the nose to the top of the grille plus adding the model designation to the hood sides. The KB-7 had a basic rating of 2-3 tons and a GVW rating of 16,500 lb. The engine was the 100-hp Blue Diamond BLD-269, putting its power through a standard 5-speed transmission and spiral-bevel rear axle. When equipped with a 2-speed rear axle the KB-7 became the KBS-7.
