Farmall F-30

The Farmall F-30 is a utility tractor that was produced by Farmall, a part of International Harvester. It featured a four-cylinder, vertical I-head engine, powered by distillate, and with a displacement of 283.7 cubic inches and a bore/stroke of 4.25 inches by 5.00 inches. The engine operated at a rated RPM of 1150, and its cooling system had a capacity of 36 quarts. This tractor sported an unsynchronized gear transmission with four forward gears and one reverse gear. The manual steering and hand-crank starting system reflect the tractor's age, as more modern conveniences were not yet standard. The tractor's notable features included a Zenith K5 carburetor and an oil bath air cleaner, which were cutting edge at the time of manufacture. The large steel wheels, 25 inches in the front and 42 inches in the rear, coupled with a weight of 5300 lbs, made the F-30 a formidable machine for a variety of tasks.
