ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester T-4 tractor is powered by a 2.0L gasoline engine, featuring a 6.8:1 compression ratio, which offers moderate torque and fuel efficiency suitable for agricultural tasks. With a rated RPM of 2000, it is ideal for steady, low-speed operations, although its limited RPM may not support high-speed applications effectively. Maintenance considerations include a relatively small oil capacity of 5 quarts and specific valve clearances that require regular adjustment to maintain optimal performance.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester T-4 tractor features a 5-speed sliding spur gearbox combined with a 10-speed partial power shift system, allowing for versatile speed adjustments and improved torque management under various load conditions. This transmission setup enhances operational efficiency, especially in demanding agricultural tasks, but may require more maintenance due to the complexity of the power shift mechanism. Ideal for diverse farming activities, it offers the flexibility required for both tillage and transport applications, though operators should familiarize themselves with the shifting system for optimal performance.
