ENGINE DETAIL
The International Harvester Type A's 15HP gasoline engine features a large displacement of 704ci (11.5L) and operates efficiently at a low RPM range of 250-300, making it robust for heavy-duty tasks. Its hand-crank starter may present a challenge in terms of user convenience and labor intensity compared to modern electric starters. With a substantial coolant capacity of 232 quarts (219.6L), it is well-suited for extended operations but requires careful monitoring to prevent overheating in demanding scenarios.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER TYPE A 15HP ENGINE
The International Harvester Type A 15HP tractor features an 11.5L single-cylinder gasoline engine, which delivers sufficient power for light to moderate farming tasks. Its 25-gallon fuel tank offers extended operation times, ideal for large fields or extended work sessions. However, the single-cylinder design may lead to higher vibration levels and reduced smoothness compared to multi-cylinder engines, which could affect operator comfort during prolonged use.

TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester Type A 15HP tractor features a simple [-|-] gear configuration with one forward and reverse gear, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces but may limit versatility in varied field conditions. This basic transmission design is advantageous for ease of use and lower maintenance costs, though it can challenge performance in demanding tasks that require multiple speed options. Ideal for small-scale farming or gardening scenarios, the tractor's straightforward operation makes it suitable for less intensive agricultural applications.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester Type A 15HP features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing limited traction on uneven terrain, ideal for light agricultural tasks. Its manual steering offers simplicity and ease of maintenance, but may require more physical effort during operation. The open station with a steel canopy offers basic protection from the elements, suitable for warm climates, while the single-speed transmission limits versatility in varying field conditions.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER TYPE A 15HP TIRES
The International Harvester Type A 15HP tractor features robust agricultural rear tires (56x18 steel), providing enhanced durability and traction on varied terrains, which is advantageous for tillage and hauling tasks. However, the steel construction can lead to decreased ground adherence in softer soils compared to rubber tires, potentially creating challenges in muddy conditions. Overall, this tractor is well-suited for small to medium farms, where its power-to-weight ratio and simplicity can efficiently manage day-to-day agricultural operations.
