ENGINES OVERVIEW

The International Harvester T-35 tractor features a 4.6L 6-cylinder gasoline or distillate engine, providing versatile fuel options for different operational needs. This dual-fuel capability can enhance fuel efficiency and reduce operational costs, making it suitable for agricultural tasks in varying environments. However, its weight and size may impact maneuverability in tight spaces, presenting a challenge for small-scale farming operations.

ENGINE DETAIL 1

The International Harvester T-35 features a robust 6-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 278.7 ci (4.6L), providing ample power for moderate agricultural tasks. With a bore and stroke of 3.625x4.50 inches, this engine's design offers a balance between torque and RPM efficiency, operating efficiently at a rated RPM of 1750. However, its 48-quart coolant capacity suggests it may require careful monitoring during extended operations to prevent overheating, particularly in high-load scenarios.

ENGINE DETAIL 2

The International Harvester T-35 tractor features a robust 6-cylinder liquid-cooled distillate engine with a displacement of 4.6L, ensuring efficient fuel consumption and adequate torque for agricultural applications. With a bore and stroke of 3.625x4.50 inches, this engine configuration facilitates smooth power delivery at a rated RPM of 1750, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks. However, the relatively low RPM may limit its top speed, posing challenges for transport applications compared to modern higher-RPM tractors.

The International Harvester T-35 features a robust 4.6L 6-cylinder engine available in both gasoline and distillate variations, providing versatility in fuel options. Its 40-gallon fuel tank allows for extended operation time, making it suitable for longer agricultural tasks without frequent refueling. However, the auxiliary 1.25-gallon tank may necessitate careful management of fuel types to optimize performance and efficiency, particularly when switching between gasoline and distillate fuel.

TRANSMISSION

The International Harvester T-35 tractor features a simple powertrain with a 4-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear configuration, ideal for basic agricultural tasks. While the limited gear selection may enhance ease of operation for novice users, it can restrict versatility in varying terrain conditions or loads. In scenarios requiring rapid direction changes or diverse speed adjustments, operators may find the single reverse gear to be a potential drawback.

Gears 4 forward and 1 reverse

MECHANICAL

The International Harvester T-35 is a crawler tractor, which provides superior traction and stability on uneven terrain compared to wheeled tractors. It features a 4-speed gear transmission, allowing for versatility in speed and torque management, essential for variable load conditions in agricultural and construction applications. However, the increased complexity of maintenance for crawler systems may pose a challenge for some operators.
