FARMALL F-235 POWER
ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Farmall F-235 is equipped with a choice of International Harvester's 2.0L 4-cylinder engines, available in both gasoline and diesel variants, providing flexibility in fuel preference. The gasoline engine typically offers faster starts and smoother operation, while the diesel variant provides greater torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for heavy-duty farming tasks. However, operators should consider potential maintenance complexities and fuel cost implications when selecting between the two engine types for optimal performance in their specific agricultural scenarios.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Farmall F-235, powered by the International Harvester FC-123 engine, delivers 26 horsepower at a rated RPM of 1650, making it suitable for light to moderate farm tasks. Its 4-cylinder configuration and 2.0L displacement provide a balance of efficiency and torque, ideal for cultivating and mowing applications. However, its lower power output may limit performance for heavier implement work, necessitating careful matching of attachments to avoid overloading.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Farmall F-235 features a FD-123 diesel engine, offering a good balance of torque and efficiency with a displacement of 123 cubic inches (2.0L) and a bore/stroke ratio suitable for achieving low-end power. Operating at a rated RPM of 1650, it is ideal for farm applications requiring steady torque for plowing or heavy lifting tasks. Challenges may arise in maintaining optimal cooling for the liquid-cooled system under heavy loads, necessitating regular maintenance to ensure reliable performance.

FARMALL F-235 ENGINES
The Farmall F-235 tractor is equipped with a choice between a 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine and a 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering flexibility depending on fuel availability and operator preference. The gasoline variant generally provides quicker starts and smoother operation, while the diesel model offers higher torque and better fuel efficiency for heavy-duty applications. A potential challenge is the maintenance of the carburetor and fuel injector systems, which may require separate expertise based on the engine choice.

TRANSMISSION
The Farmall F-235 features a simple gear transmission with 4 forward speeds and 1 reverse, making it suitable for basic farming operations where speed variability is less critical. Its straightforward gearing system can be advantageous in terms of reliability and ease of maintenance but may limit performance in more complex tasks requiring rapid speed changes. Ideal for smaller farms or light agricultural tasks, it may face challenges in handling larger implements or demanding conditions.

MECHANICAL
The Farmall F-235 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides adequate traction for light agricultural tasks but may struggle on uneven terrain or during wet conditions. Its open operator station enhances visibility and airflow, though it limits protection against the elements, which can affect operator comfort during long hours. The 4-speed gear transmission allows for moderate speed versatility, making it suitable for general farming duties but may lack the precision gearing required for specialized applications such as tillage or planting.

FARMALL F-235 TIRES
The Farmall F-235 tractor features an Ag front tire size of 5.00x15, which provides good maneuverability and a low profile, ideal for cultivating in tight spaces. The rear Ag tires, sized at 10.00x36, enhance traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks like plowing and towing. However, the limited tire size may reduce flotation in softer soils, potentially leading to soil compaction in wet conditions.
