INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 824 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester 824 features a robust D-239 diesel engine with a displacement of 3.9L, offering a power output of 75 hp at 2300 RPM and impressive torque of 190.2 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, which is ideal for heavy-duty applications. With a 16:1 compression ratio, it provides excellent fuel efficiency but may require higher quality diesel fuels to avoid knocking. The inline 4-cylinder configuration and firing order of 1-3-4-2 ensure smooth operation and reduced vibration, making it suitable for both agricultural and industrial tasks, though maintenance access may be more challenging due to the engine's compact design.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester 824 features an 8-speed or 12-speed partial power shift transmission, allowing for smooth shifting without clutch engagement, which enhances operational efficiency in varying field conditions. This transmission type can result in better fuel economy and improved productivity during tasks like plowing or tilling. However, potential challenges include increased maintenance complexity and the need for operator training to maximize the advantages of the power shift system.

TRANSMISSION 1
The International Harvester 824 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, facilitating smooth gear transitions between horsepower demands. However, operators must stop the tractor to shift ranges, which may be a limitation in time-sensitive tasks like plowing. The synchronization allows for efficient speed management, making it advantageous for diverse field operations but requiring careful handling during range changes.
| Transmission |

| Gears |
8 forward and 4 reverse |
| Description |
Four gears (1-4) in high, low, and reverse ranges. Gear shifting is synchronized using the clutch. Tractor must be stoppped to shift range. |
TRANSMISSION 2
The International Harvester 824's Agriomatic S transmission enhances operational flexibility with 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds, allowing for efficient speed management in various field conditions. The additional power shift lever enables quick transitions between ranges, facilitating better maneuverability during tasks that require rapid speed adjustments. However, the complexity of the partial power shift system may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with such technologies, impacting initial productivity.

| Type |
partial power shift |
| Gears |
12 forward and 4 reverse |
| 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 824 tractor features a versatile powertrain with 2WD, MFWD, or 4WD options, allowing for enhanced traction on varying terrains. It incorporates an optional cab for operator comfort and power steering, improving maneuverability during operation. However, the dry disc brakes may require more frequent maintenance in demanding conditions, and the choice between 8-speed and 12-speed partial power shift transmissions could impact efficiency during fieldwork.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 824 TIRES
The International Harvester 824 tractor's 2WD configuration with standard agricultural tires (7.50-18 front, 13.6-38 rear) offers robust traction and stability on flat terrains but may struggle in muddy conditions compared to its 4WD counterpart. The 4WD option, utilizing larger tires (11.2-24 front, 16.9-34 rear), enhances off-road capabilities and provides improved handling in diverse agricultural environments, albeit at a higher operational cost due to increased wear and fuel consumption. Consider the specific requirements of the terrain and tasks when selecting between 2WD and 4WD configurations to optimize performance and efficiency.
