TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester 654 tractor features an 8-speed partially synchronized transmission combined with a 12-speed partial power shift, providing a balance of manual control and ease of shifting under load. This configuration enhances operational efficiency in varying field conditions but may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with partial power shift systems. Ideal for tasks requiring different speeds and torque, such as plowing and tilling, it allows for smooth transitions between gears, optimizing productivity on moderate terrain.

TRANSMISSION 1
The International Harvester 654 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, facilitating smoother shifting and improved maneuverability in various farming tasks. With an oil capacity of 44.4 quarts (42.0 liters), maintaining optimal lubrication is essential for engine longevity and operational efficiency, especially in demanding conditions. The gear configuration provides versatility for different field applications, allowing operators to effectively manage speed and torque based on specific farming scenarios.

TRANSMISSION 2
The International Harvester 654 features a partial power shift transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, optimizing operational versatility for varying terrains. The Agriomatic S system allows seamless transitions between ranges, enhancing efficiency by offering intermediate speeds—beneficial for tasks requiring precise speed control such as field tillage or loading. However, operators must be mindful of the oil capacity of 37 qts (35.0L) to ensure proper lubrication and operation of the complex transmission system, as inadequate oil can lead to overheating and increased wear.

| Description |
The Agriomatic S provides an additional four forward speeds selected by a right-hand power shift lever. Pushing the lever forward engages the Agriomatic range, while rearward uses the conventional range. The Agriomatic speeds are between high and low ranges, so this provides an undershift in high range and an overshift in low range. In reverse range it operates as a power shuttle |

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester 654 tractor offers versatile drivetrain options with 2WD and MFWD configurations, which enhance traction in varied terrains, making it suitable for both light and moderate agricultural tasks. Its open operator station provides excellent visibility but lacks weather protection, potentially impacting comfort during prolonged use. The 8-speed and 12-speed transmission options offer flexibility in speed selection, allowing for tailored performance during field operations, but may require experience to exploit fully given their partial synchronization features.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 654 TIRES
The International Harvester 654 tractor features a diverse tire option range, allowing for optimized performance on various terrains with adjustable traction based on selected ag rear sizes. Notably, the larger rear tire options (e.g., 18.4/15-30) enhance stability and load capacity for heavier agricultural tasks, while the 6.50-16 front tire maintains agility in maneuvering. However, tire selection impacts overall height and weight distribution, potentially affecting ground pressure and soil compaction; careful consideration is essential to match tire sizes to specific field conditions for optimal efficiency.
