ENGINES OVERVIEW

The International Harvester 364 tractor features a choice between a 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel engine offering superior torque and fuel efficiency, ideal for heavy-duty tasks, and a 2.3L 4-cylinder gasoline engine that provides quicker start-up and lower initial costs, beneficial for lighter agricultural applications. The diesel variant excels in longevity and fuel economy, making it advantageous for extended use, while the gasoline version may present challenges in fuel economy and longevity under constant heavy loads. Optimally, select the diesel option for intensive workloads and the gasoline for lighter, speed-oriented operations.

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The International Harvester 364 features a BD-154 diesel engine with a displacement of 154 cubic inches (2.5L), providing efficient power delivery at a rated RPM of 2100, ideal for agricultural tasks. The bore/stroke ratio of 3.50x4.00 inches indicates a longer stroke, enhancing torque output, making it well-suited for heavy load applications. The oil capacity of 7.9 quarts ensures adequate lubrication, a critical factor when operating continuously under higher stress conditions, though regular checks are essential to prevent potential engine wear.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The International Harvester 364 tractor is powered by a BC-144 gasoline engine, featuring a 4-cylinder liquid-cooled design, providing reliable performance for various agricultural tasks. With a displacement of 143.1 cubic inches (2.3 liters) and a bore/stroke ratio of 3.375x4.00 inches (86x102 mm), it offers a good balance between torque and horsepower for efficient operation. Potential advantages include its ease of maintenance and fuel availability, while challenges may arise from fuel costs compared to diesel engines, particularly in high-use scenarios.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 364 ENGINES

The International Harvester 364 tractor features two engine options: a 2.5L 4-cylinder diesel for improved torque and fuel efficiency, and a 2.3L 4-cylinder gasoline engine for lower initial costs and easier starting in cold weather. Its 12.25-gallon (46.4L) fuel tank enables extended operation between refuels, making it suitable for medium-sized agricultural tasks. However, operators should consider potential fuel cost variances and engine maintenance differences when choosing between diesel and gasoline options.

TRANSMISSION

The International Harvester 364 tractor features an 8 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration, offering versatility for various agricultural tasks. The wide range of forward speeds allows for optimal performance in different field conditions, while the two reverse gears enhance maneuverability during tight operations. However, the limited reverse gears may challenge navigation in more confined spaces compared to tractors with higher reverse gear options.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The International Harvester 364, featuring a 4x2 2WD chassis, is well-suited for flat terrain tasks, offering good maneuverability but may struggle with traction in muddy or hilly conditions. The open operator station enhances visibility and comfort but lacks protection from the elements. Its 8-speed transmission allows for versatile speed adjustments, making it efficient for various agricultural applications, although it may require skilled operation for optimal performance during complex tasks.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 364 TIRES

The International Harvester 364 features a versatile tire configuration with 6.00-16 Ag front tires and 13.6-28 Ag rear tires, enhancing traction for various agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires provide better weight distribution and stability, which is crucial for plowing and tilling on uneven terrain. However, operators should be mindful of potential challenges in tire maintenance and cost of replacement for specialized Ag tires during heavy usage or rough conditions.
