Primary Engine Ih 656 Engine Options: Commonly featured IH D-series diesel engines (e.g., D-209, D-236, D-246) and gasoline/LP options. Performance Diesel Torque: Diesel variants generally offer higher torque for heavy draft work, specific values vary by engine displacement (e.g., D-236 typically around 150-160 lb-ft at ~1200 RPM). Gasoline Horsepower: Gasoline variants typically offered lower horsepower and torque compared to their diesel counterparts, with ranges often from 50-70 PTO HP depending on the specific engine and model. Fuel System Diesel Injection: Likely rotary or inline injection pumps (e.g., CAV, Bosch) for diesel engines. Gasoline Carburetion: Carbureted fuel delivery for gasoline and LP models. 🔧 Transmission Standard Ih 544 Transmission Type: Often featured an 8-speed manual transmission (4 forward, 4 reverse with a high/low range) or a Torque Amplifier (TA) option for split-gear ratios. Standard Ih 656 Transmission Type: Similar to the 544, typically an 8-speed or 10-speed manual transmission with a Torque Amplifier (TA) option providing 16 forward speeds. Optional Torque Amplifier: The Torque Amplifier (TA) was a popular option, essentially a power shift unit that allowed the operator to change gear ratios on the fly under load without using the clutch, effectively doubling the number of available gears. Features Pto Options: Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540 RPM), and potentially a dual-speed PTO (540/1000 RPM) depending on configuration. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Ih 544 Wheelbase: Approximately 81.5 inches. Length: Around 125-130 inches (without implements). Exterior Ih 656 Wheelbase: Approximately 85.5 inches. Length: Around 130-135 inches (without implements). Weights Operating Weight Approx: 544: ~4,500-5,500 lbs; 656: ~5,000-6,000 lbs (varies...
