ENGINES OVERVIEW
The International Harvester FG tractor features a versatile 2.0L 4-cylinder kerosene engine and an alternative 2.4L 2-cylinder diesel option, offering flexibility in fuel type to accommodate varying operational conditions. The kerosene engine provides potential advantages in lower fuel costs and reliability, while the diesel variant offers higher torque efficiency and better fuel economy for heavy-duty tasks. Consider the intended application: the kerosene engine is suitable for light to moderate uses, while the diesel option excels in demanding agricultural operations or commercial use.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The International Harvester FG tractor features a kerosene-powered 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 124.7 ci (2.0 L), delivering 20 hp at a rated RPM of 1650. Advantages include efficient fuel use and simple operation, but the hand-crank starter poses a challenge in cold weather or for less experienced operators. This tractor is ideal for small-scale farming tasks and light-duty applications where maneuverability and fuel economy are prioritized.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The International Harvester FG tractor features a robust MWM KD-415Z diesel engine with a displacement of 2.4L, providing substantial torque at low RPMs, ideal for heavy-duty applications. The bore and stroke dimensions (100x150mm) indicate a long-stroke design, enhancing torque characteristics but potentially limiting top-end power. At a rated RPM of 1500, this tractor is optimal for tasks requiring sustained torque, such as plowing or towing, but may struggle in high-speed applications.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER FG ENGINES
The International Harvester FG tractor is equipped with either a 2.0L 4-cylinder kerosene engine or a MWM 2.4L 2-cylinder diesel engine, offering versatility in fuel options. Key considerations include the higher torque output of the diesel for demanding agricultural tasks versus the potentially lower operating costs of kerosene. The 4-cylinder model may be preferable for applications requiring smoother operation, while the diesel variant could excel in heavy-duty scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester FG tractor features a 4-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear transmission, which provides versatility for various agricultural tasks. This gearbox allows for adequate control over speed and torque, making it suitable for both field work and transport. However, the limited gear range may present challenges in navigating steep terrains or heavy loads, necessitating careful operation by the operator.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester FG tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides simplicity and ease of use, but may limit traction on uneven terrains compared to 4WD models. The manual steering can be less responsive and may require more physical effort, potentially affecting operator comfort during prolonged use. With a 4-speed gear transmission, operators can optimize power delivery for various tasks, but it may lack the versatility of more advanced transmission systems such as hydrostatic drives for precision applications.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER FG TIRES
The International Harvester FG tractor features a front tire size of 5.00x16 and a rear size of 9.00x40, which provides a balanced weight distribution for improved stability and traction on various terrains. The larger rear tires enhance the vehicle's ability to handle heavier loads and potentially improve drawbar pull during agricultural operations. However, the specialized tire sizes may limit tire replacement options and could require careful planning for maintenance and compatibility with implement attachments.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The International Harvester FG tractor features a compact 76.8-inch wheelbase, contributing to enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small to medium-sized agricultural tasks. Weighing 3,860 lbs, it has a favorable ground grip, yet the combination of front and rear tire sizes (5.00x16 and 9.00x40) may lead to potential traction challenges on uneven terrain. Overall, its design is advantageous for specialized applications such as row cropping or orchard work, with limitations in larger field operations where power-to-weight ratios are critical.
