ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 130 features a 2.0L, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a compression ratio of 6.8:1, optimized for low-end torque at 1400 RPM, making it suitable for agricultural tasks requiring steady power rather than high speed. Its oil bath air cleaner enhances engine longevity by effectively trapping contaminants, although maintenance could be more frequent compared to a dry filter. With a coolant capacity of 15 quarts, it ensures efficient thermal management during prolonged use, but the 6-volt starter system may present challenges in extremely cold conditions.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 130 ENGINE
The International Harvester 130 features a 2.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing moderate power for agricultural tasks. Its 11-gallon fuel tank offers a reasonable range for extended operations, although fuel efficiency may vary based on load and terrain. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, the tractor may face challenges in higher-demand scenarios requiring greater horsepower or larger fuel capacities.

TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester 130 features a sliding gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing simplicity in operation but limiting versatility for varied terrain. The dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement and disengagement with minimal maintenance; however, it may present challenges in heavy-duty applications due to wear over time. This tractor is well-suited for light to moderate agricultural tasks, but users should be mindful of the transmission's gearing limitations in more demanding situations.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester 130 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, limiting its traction capabilities in uneven terrain but making it suitable for flat, dry surfaces. The manual steering system may require more effort, especially during tight maneuvers, but provides direct feedback to the operator. The 4-speed sliding gear transmission allows for reasonable speed control, ideal for lighter agricultural tasks, though it lacks the versatility of modern, synchronized transmissions.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 130 TIRES
The International Harvester 130 features a dual tire configuration with a 5.00x15 front and a 9.00x24 rear, optimizing traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. Advantages include enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces and improved weight distribution; however, the smaller front tires may impose challenges in muddy conditions. Ideal for small to medium farms, the 130 is suited for light to moderate field work, particularly in row crop applications.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The International Harvester 130's 71-inch wheelbase enhances maneuverability, making it suitable for small farms and tight spaces. Weighing 2,800 lbs, it strikes a balance between stability and transportability, although heavier loads may require additional ballast to maintain traction. The front tire size of 5.00x15 provides adequate steering control, while the rear 9.00x24 tires can deliver good power transfer in soil; however, tire maintenance is crucial for optimal performance in varied terrains.
