ENGINE DETAIL

The International Harvester 1086 features a robust DT-414 turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 414 ci (6.8L), providing substantial torque and power suitable for heavy agricultural tasks. Its 2400 RPM rated operating speed allows for efficient use in high-demand scenarios, while the dual dry element air cleaner enhances engine protection from dust and debris. However, the relatively large coolant capacity of 25 quarts (23.7L) necessitates regular monitoring to prevent overheating during prolonged operation.

ENGINE OIL

The International Harvester 1086 tractor has an oil capacity of 20 quarts (18.9 liters), which is on the higher end for tractors in its class, allowing for improved lubrication and extended maintenance intervals. This large oil capacity can enhance engine longevity and performance, but it may also necessitate a higher initial investment in oil during changes. When operating in demanding conditions, such as heavy tillage or transportation tasks, maintaining proper oil levels is crucial to prevent potential engine wear or failure.

TRANSMISSION

The International Harvester 1086 tractor’s transmission with a Torque Amplifier offers versatility through its 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, enhancing productivity in various agricultural tasks. The requirement to stop for range and gear shifts may limit operational efficiency in dynamic field conditions, while the on-the-go TA shifting allows for quick adjustments when necessary, minimizing downtime. With an oil capacity of 90 quarts, regular maintenance using IH Hy-Tran/B-6 is essential to ensure optimal hydraulic and transmission performance.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 1086 TIRES

The International Harvester 1086 tractor features a versatile tire configuration, accommodating either 10.00-16 (2WD) or 13.6-24 (4WD) tires at the front, and 18.4-38 tires at the rear. This allows for enhanced traction and stability, particularly in challenging field conditions, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural applications. However, users should consider the potential for increased wear on tires with heavy loads and evaluate the necessity of 4WD for their specific operational needs.
