ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Farmall B tractor features a dual-fuel 1.9L International Harvester 4-cylinder engine, capable of operating on both gasoline and kerosene, providing versatility for varying fuel availability. The key advantage is reduced fuel costs when using kerosene; however, performance may vary with temperature and fuel properties, posing a challenge in colder climates. Optimal for small to mid-sized farms, this tractor excels in cultivating and light hauling tasks but may lack the power for heavier plowing jobs.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Farmall B tractor features a C113 gasoline engine with a displacement of 1.9L, providing adequate power for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its low compression ratio of 5.33:1 contributes to easier starting in varied conditions but limits performance compared to higher-compression engines. With a rated RPM of 1400, it is ideal for low-speed operations, although this may pose challenges in heavy-duty applications requiring higher torque.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Farmall B tractor's kerosene engine, with a displacement of 1.9L and a rated RPM of 1400, provides substantial low-end torque ideal for farm operations, particularly in tasks requiring sustained power. Its simple vertical I-head design allows for ease of maintenance, but the reliance on kerosene may limit fuel availability in some regions, posing a challenge. Additionally, the specified valve clearances and spark gap values enable efficient combustion, enhancing engine performance and longevity when regularly serviced.

MECHANICAL
The Farmall B tractor features a two-wheel drive system which enhances fuel efficiency but can limit traction on uneven terrain. Its manual steering provides operators with a direct feel, though it may require more physical effort in tight maneuvers. The open operator station promotes visibility and airflow but offers minimal protection against adverse weather conditions, making it ideal for temperate climates or controlled environments.
