INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 353 ENGINE
The International Harvester 353 tractor, equipped with a robust 2.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivers efficient fuel consumption and reliable torque for various agricultural tasks. Its compact size enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small to medium-sized farms. However, its lower horsepower compared to larger models can limit performance on more demanding operations, so it is best suited for lighter workloads like row cropping and gardening.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester 353 tractor features an 8-speed or optional 12-speed creeper transmission, enabling precise control for tasks requiring low-speed operation, such as tilling or plowing. The versatility of a creeper gear enhances torque management, allowing the operator to maintain consistent RPMs under heavy load. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance and expertise for optimal performance in various applications.

TRANSMISSION 1
The International Harvester 353 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, allowing for versatile power management in various agricultural tasks. Its 254mm dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more frequent maintenance under heavy use compared to wet clutches. The oil capacity of 36.5 quarts (34.5 liters) supports efficient lubrication, essential for engine longevity, but regular monitoring is important to prevent potential overheating in demanding applications.

TRANSMISSION 2
The International Harvester 353 features a creeper type transmission with 12 forward and 6 reverse gears, providing excellent low-speed control, ideal for tasks such as tilling or working in tight spaces. The 254mm dry disc clutch ensures reliable engagement but may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. With an oil capacity of 36.5 quarts, regular servicing is crucial for optimal lubrication and to prevent overheating during extended operations.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester 353 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis with a mechanical rear differential lock, enhancing traction in challenging terrain while limiting its capability in steep inclines compared to 4WD systems. The open operator station provides visibility and ease of access but offers less protection against the elements, which can be a drawback in inclement conditions. Its 8-speed/12-speed creeper transmission allows for precise speed control during fieldwork, making it suitable for tasks requiring slow, deliberate movement, such as planting or tilling.
