ENGINES OVERVIEW

The International Harvester 464 features a choice between a gasoline 2.9L 4-cylinder engine and a diesel 2.9L 3-cylinder engine, allowing operators to select based on fuel efficiency or power needs. The gasoline variant is typically easier to start and offers less maintenance complexity, while the diesel option provides greater torque, ideal for heavy-duty applications and extended work periods. Potential challenges include managing the weight balance with the diesel variant, which may affect maneuverability in tight spaces.

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The International Harvester 464 tractor features a C-175 gasoline engine, notable for its moderate displacement (175ci / 2.9L) and low compression ratio (7.19:1), which allows for reliable operation on low-grade fuels but may limit power output compared to higher compression alternatives. With a rated RPM of 2400, it is engineered for consistent performance, making it suitable for light to moderate farming tasks. However, the dry air cleaner may require more frequent maintenance in dusty environments, potentially impacting operational efficiency.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The International Harvester 464 features a D-179 diesel engine with a 16:1 compression ratio that balances power and efficiency, operating at a rated RPM of 2400, suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. Its 8-quart oil capacity ensures adequate lubrication, while the 12-quart coolant capacity helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, ensuring longevity under heavy-duty conditions. Consider potential challenges with the dry air cleaner, as it may need frequent inspection and maintenance to prevent engine performance issues in dusty environments.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 464 ENGINES

The International Harvester 464 tractor is equipped with a choice of a 2.9L 4-cylinder gasoline or a 2.9L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing flexibility based on fuel preference and operational demands. The substantial 18.5-gallon fuel tank enhances runtime in the field, making it advantageous for longer agricultural tasks without frequent refueling. However, the gasoline engine may not deliver the same torque and fuel efficiency under heavy loads as the diesel variant, which could be a critical consideration for intensive applications.

TRANSMISSION

The International Harvester 464 features an 8-forward and 4-reverse synchromesh transmission, allowing for smooth gear shifts and optimal torque management during varied field conditions. With a dry disc clutch, it offers straightforward maintenance but may require more frequent adjustment compared to a wet clutch system. The 36-quart oil capacity suggests a robust lubrication system, essential for ensuring durability during extended operation.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch dry disc
Oil capacity 36qts / 34.1L
Description Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high) plus reverse.

MECHANICAL

The International Harvester 464 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which is suitable for general agricultural tasks but may struggle in muddy or uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. Its hydrostatic power steering provides enhanced maneuverability, while the independent hydraulic wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, critical for safety during operation. The optional ROPS cab enhances operator safety, but may limit visibility compared to open-cab designs; consider your working environment when choosing this tractor.
