Fuel Filter Replacement:
Regular replacement is crucial for diesel engine health, intervals provided in manual.
Engine Oil:
Likely SAE 30 or 10W-30 diesel engine oil, meeting API CD or equivalent specifications. Manual will specify exact grade and capacity.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Often a universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) or straight 30W oil, depending on the specific transmission and hydraulic system design. Manual will confirm type and capacity.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze mixture with appropriate water ratio, manual will specify type and capacity.
Brake Fluid:
If hydraulic brakes are present, the manual will specify the appropriate brake fluid type (likely DOT 3 or similar for older systems).
Common Wear Items:
Injectors, fuel pumps, hydraulic pumps, clutch wear, and potential for oil leaks are common maintenance points for tractors of this age, all addressed in the manual.
Electrical Gremlins:
As with older machinery, electrical connections and wiring can degrade, making the wiring diagrams in the manual invaluable.
Manufacturer Legacy:
International Harvester (IH) was a major American manufacturer of agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and vehicles. This manual reflects their robust engineering during a key period.
Tractor Series Context:
These models represent a lineage of popular and reliable utility tractors produced by IH, often featuring British-designed engines (e.g., manufactured under license in the UK) or International Harvester's own designs, catering to a wide range of agricultural needs.
Model Differentiation:
The manual covers a range of models which, while sharing common IH design philosophies, have distinct engine sizes, transmission options, and feature sets, all detailed within the single manual for comprehensive coverage.
Production Era Estimated:
These tractor models were primarily produced from the late 1950s through the 1970s.
