INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 1246 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 1246 tractor features a robust turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 358ci (5.9L), providing a strong power output of 122hp at 2200 RPM, advantageous for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its bore and stroke measurements (3.875x5.0625 inches) suggest a focus on torque production, which can excel in plowing and tilling operations but may result in higher emissions and fuel consumption compared to modern alternatives. In scenarios requiring consistent power under load, this tractor's design offers reliability, but it may face challenges in meeting current emissions standards.
