ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester T-5 features a C-135 gasoline engine with a displacement of 134.8 cubic inches (2.2L) and a compression ratio of 7.4:1, which results in moderate power output and efficiency. With a rated RPM of 2000, this engine is optimized for low-end torque, making it suitable for tasks like tilling or pulling implements at slower speeds. Critical maintenance points include maintaining oil and coolant capacities of 5 quarts and 12 quarts respectively, as well as regular valve clearance checks (0.014 inches intake, 0.020 inches exhaust) to ensure efficient engine performance.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester T-5 tractor features a 5-speed transmission option, ideal for general farming tasks, while the 10-speed variant allows for enhanced operational flexibility, offering more gear ratios for varying terrain and load demands. The 10-speed can be advantageous for tasks requiring finer speed control, but may present challenges in user familiarity and maintenance complexity. For scenarios involving diverse agricultural applications, the 10-speed's versatility is beneficial, whereas the 5-speed suffices for standard operations with potentially lower maintenance needs.
