Farmall 564

The Farmall 564 is a utility tractor that was built to handle a variety of tasks for farmers and landowners. Its diesel-powered International Harvester D-206 engine, providing 60 horsepower and a maximum torque of 155.5 lb-ft at 1600 RPM, makes it suitable for moderate farming work. With its manual steering and two-wheel drive (4x2 2WD) configuration, the tractor requires some physical effort to manage but offers simplicity and reliability. The Farmall 564 is equipped with a partially synchronized transmission offering 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, or a partial power shift transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, giving it versatility in managing different tasks and terrains. A distinctive wheelbase of 83.5 inches contributes to its stability, and the tractor has a weight range of 5465 lbs for the 2WD model to 6592 lbs for the optional 4WD variant. Its length of 139.8 inches, a width of 70.4 inches, and height of 69.1 inches make it a fairly sizable machine with substantial ground clearance. The Farmall 564, while missing specific modern comforts or technological advancements, is a testament to the durability and straightforward design of its time.
