ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 274 tractor features a reliable Nissan 3-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.6L, producing 30hp at 2600 RPM, which is suited for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its bore/stroke ratio of 83x100mm indicates a balanced design, leading to decent torque characteristics, although its lower power output may limit performance in heavier applications. The 12V starter system and 7.2qt coolant capacity ensure straightforward maintenance and efficient thermal management; however, prospective buyers should consider its suitability for their specific workload and terrain.

ENGINE OIL
The International Harvester 274 tractor has an oil capacity of 5.3 quarts (5.0 liters), necessitating an oil change interval every 100 operating hours to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity. Pros include relatively low oil capacity, which simplifies maintenance; however, the frequent oil change requirement may increase maintenance frequency and cost. Regular monitoring of oil quality and adhering to the change schedule is crucial to prevent engine wear and prolong the tractor's operational life.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 274 TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester 274 features an 8-speed transmission, providing a range of gear selections for efficient speed control in varied terrains. This allows enhanced performance for tasks such as plowing, mowing, and hauling, although the complexity of the transmission may require skilled operation for optimal use. A potential challenge is its age; parts availability and maintenance may be limited compared to newer models, possibly affecting long-term reliability.
MECHANICAL
The International Harvester 274 features a simple two-wheel drive system, which offers lower initial costs and easier maintenance but may limit traction on uneven terrain. The hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, enhancing safety; however, they may require more frequent servicing compared to drum brakes. The two-post ROPS adds safety during operation, particularly in hilly scenarios, while the optional canopy provides protection from the elements, improving operator comfort.
