ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester Mogul 45's 2-cylinder liquid-cooled opposed-twin engine with a substantial displacement of 27.9L provides impressive torque characteristics, ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a bore and stroke of 9.50x12.00 inches, it offers a long-stroke design that enhances low-end power, making it effective for hauling or plowing. Operating between 200-375 RPM, it may struggle in modern high-speed applications, yet serves well in traditional farming scenarios where gradual and stable power delivery is paramount.

TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester Mogul 45 features a simplistic gear design, offering one forward and one reverse gear. The use of a friction band for reverse provides a smooth engagement but may lead to wear over time, especially under heavy load scenarios. This design is advantageous for maneuverability in tight spaces, although the limited gear options may challenge operational efficiency in varied terrain.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester Mogul 45 features a simple 4x2 2WD chassis and manual steering, which can enhance driver engagement but may limit maneuverability in rugged terrain. Its open operator platform with a canopy provides basic protection, suitable for warm conditions but exposes the operator to adverse weather. The 1-speed gear transmission, while reducing complexity and maintenance, restricts operational versatility in varied field conditions, making it best suited for straightforward tasks or flat terrains.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER MOGUL 45 TIRES
The International Harvester Mogul 45 features an agricultural front axle with 40x10 steel wheels and a robust rear axle with 72x24 steel wheels, providing enhanced load distribution and traction for heavy-duty farming applications. The large rear wheel size facilitates improved ground clearance and stability on uneven terrain, while the steel construction increases durability but may result in a heavier overall weight. Operators should consider the trade-off between weight and maneuverability when working in tight spaces or on soft soil conditions.
