ENGINES OVERVIEW
The International Harvester B-414 features either a 2.3L gasoline or a 2.5L diesel 4-cylinder engine, providing versatility in fuel options for different operational needs. The compact size and moderate horsepower make it ideal for small to medium-sized farms, offering agility in tight workspaces while maintaining reasonable torque for various tasks. However, potential challenges include limited power for heavy-duty applications and the need for precise maintenance to ensure optimal performance across engine types.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The International Harvester B-414, equipped with a BC-144 gasoline engine, delivers a power output of 43.5 hp at 2,000 RPM, complemented by a torque rating of 116 lb-ft peaking at 1,300 RPM, making it suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its oil bath air cleaner and low 6.3:1 compression ratio provide better engine protection and longevity but could limit power efficiency compared to higher-compression counterparts. Be mindful of the relatively limited 5 qt oil and 10 qt coolant capacities; these can result in higher maintenance frequency during extended operation or heavy-duty cycles.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER B-414 ENGINES
The International Harvester B-414 tractor features a 2.3L gasoline or a 2.5L diesel engine, offering versatility in fuel choice. The gasoline variant generally provides quicker starts and may be slightly lighter, while the diesel option offers better torque and fuel efficiency under heavy loads, making it advantageous for sustained agricultural tasks. However, the diesel engine may face cold-start issues in low temperatures, which can limit its operational efficiency in colder climates.
