Specific model number (e.g., C-113, C-123 for gasoline, or a D-series diesel) would depend on the exact configuration and year, but commonly in the 1.2L to 1.6L range. Performance Horsepower Range: Approximately 20-30 PTO horsepower, depending on the specific engine variant. Torque Curve: Designed for strong low-end torque suitable for agricultural applications. Fuel System Fuel Type: Gasoline or Diesel (depending on variant) Carburetor Or Injection: Gasoline models typically feature a single-barrel carburetor (e.g., Marvel-Schebler). Diesel models would use a distributor-type injection pump. Cooling System Cooling Type: Liquid-cooled (radiator, water pump, thermostat) Lubrication System Oil Type Specification: API Service classification SC, SD, or SE. Viscosity grade typically SAE 30 or 10W-30 depending on temperature. (Consult manual for exact IH specification). Engine Codes Engine Serial Number Location: Typically stamped on the engine block or a specific data plate. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Manual Synchromesh (or non-synchro) transmission with multiple forward and reverse gears. Optional Optional Transmission: Likely a 2-speed PTO (Power Take-Off) as standard or optional, and potentially a creeper gear option for very low speeds. Features Gear Ratios: Specific gear ratios will be detailed in the WSM, crucial for understanding torque multiplication at different speeds. Transmission Fluid Specification: Typically IH Hytran or equivalent tractor hydraulic fluid (THF). Capacity and change intervals will be in the manual. (e.g., API GL-4 80W-90 for some gearboxes if separate). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Varies by specific configuration, but typically around 65-75 inches. Overall Length: Approximate: 100-120 inches. Overall Width: Approximate: 55-65 inches (tread adjustable). Weights Operating Weight: Approximate: 2,000 - 2,500 lbs, depending on configuration and ballast. Drawbar Horsepower: Typically around 80-90% of PTO horsepower. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Rollover Protection: ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure) may have been an option or dealer-installed accessory, not typically standard on older models unless mandated. Active Features Braking System: Mechanical drum brakes or hydraulic disc brakes (depending on specific...
