Engine Model Family:
International Harvester C-series (likely C-221, C-239, or similar displacement variants depending on specific configuration)
Displacement Range:
Approximately 3.5 to 3.9 Liters (215 to 239 cubic inches)
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 60-75 PTO horsepower range, specific rating varies by engine variant and configuration.
Injection Type:
Direct Injection (likely CAV or similar rotary/inline injection pump)
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Consult manual for specific IH or Case IH approved coolant.
Oil Type:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 is common. Consult manual for precise specification and viscosity based on operating temperature.
Crankcase Capacity:
Approximately 8-10 US quarts (7.5-9.5 liters) with filter. Exact capacity specified in the service manual.
Transmission Type:
Constant Mesh Gearbox (typically a 8-speed or 16-speed gearbox, depending on synchronized vs. non-synchronized options and high-low range)
Powershift Option:
May be available with a 2-speed powershift (e.g., 'SpeedShift') for certain models or configurations, but the base 784 often featured a manual shuttle or non-powershift transmission.
Pto Speeds:
Standard PTO speeds typically include 540 RPM, with optional 1000 RPM configurations possible.
Transmission Fluid:
Hy-Tran fluid or equivalent UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil). Consult manual for specific IH or Case IH recommended fluid.
Transmission Sump Capacity:
Varies by configuration, but typically in the range of 25-35 US quarts (23.5-33 liters) for the combined transmission and hydraulic sump.

Commonly 16.9-30 or 18.4-30 bias-ply tires.
Front Tire Standard:
Typically 7.50-16 or 9.5L-15 bias-ply tires.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) was a common option and often required for safety. This manual would detail parts for ROPS if factory-fitted.
Braking System Type:
Internal expanding shoe or disc brakes, usually mechanically or hydraulically actuated. Parts for the brake pedal, linkage, and brake assemblies are covered.
Operator Station Design:
Designed for operator safety with controls placed for ease of use. Parts for seat belts, fenders, and guards are included.
Instrumentation:
Basic instrumentation including tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure light, and fuel gauge. Parts for these gauges and their sending units are covered.

Common Wear Items:
Clutch components, brake linings, hydraulic pump seals, and PTO clutch packs are common wear items requiring replacement over time.
Electrical Gremlins:
Older wiring harnesses can degrade, leading to intermittent electrical issues. Parts catalog is vital for identifying correct wiring components.
Hydraulic Performance:
Loss of hydraulic pressure can indicate worn pump, cylinder seals, or control valve issues. Parts identification is key for repairs.
Manufacturer History:
The 784 is part of the legacy of International Harvester (IH), a major agricultural machinery manufacturer founded in 1902, which later merged with J.I. Case to form Case IH in 1985.
Model Context:
The 784 belongs to the IH 84 Series tractors, which were produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. These tractors were designed as versatile utility tractors for medium-scale farming operations.
Production Period:
The 784 model was produced from approximately 1979 to 1985.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily manufactured in Europe (e.g., Doncaster, UK or Neuss, Germany) for the European market, and potentially in the US for North American distribution.
