Optional Transmission Features:
May include a Torque Amplifier (TA) or shuttle shift option depending on configuration.
Clutch Type:
Dual-stage dry clutch for PTO and transmission engagement.
Overall Length:
Variable depending on configuration, but typically around 11-13 feet (3.3-4.0 meters).
Overall Width:
Variable based on rear axle tread settings, typically 5-7 feet (1.5-2.1 meters).
Wheelbase:
Approx. 76-80 inches (1930-2032 mm).
Operating Weight:
Approx. 4000-5000 lbs (1814-2268 kg), depending on options and fluids.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-150 operating hours or annually.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
As recommended, often coinciding with oil changes or every 250 hours.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Every 500-1000 operating hours, depending on usage and fluid type.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, viscosity grade SAE 30 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
IH Hy-Tran or equivalent UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid), meeting specific IH specifications (e.g., MS-1207).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors, typically a 50/50 mix with water.
Common Problem 1:
Wear in the transmission or clutch engagement, especially with the Torque Amplifier (TA) unit if equipped.
Common Problem 2:
Fuel injection system wear, leading to poor starting or rough running.
Common Problem 3:
Hydraulic pump or cylinder seals requiring replacement due to age and wear.
Common Problem 4:
Electrical system issues such as aging wiring harnesses or faulty switches.
Brand Legacy:
International Harvester (IH) was a prominent American manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment, known for durable and reliable machines.
