International Harvester 1046

The International Harvester 1046 is a row-crop tractor that offers a blend of robustness and functionality suitable for various farming tasks. As a two-wheel drive, 4x2 2WD tractor, it provides necessary traction for handling row-crop work. It is equipped with power steering to enhance maneuverability. The heart of the 1046 is the International Harvester D-358 engine, which is a liquid-cooled six-cylinder diesel unit that discharges 108.5 horsepower and achieves a rated RPM of 2100. This powerplant makes the tractor capable of tackling heavy-duty operations with relative ease. Moreover, the tractor has an engine displacement of 358 cubic inches, with a bore and stroke measuring 3.875 inches and 5.0625 inches, respectively. Details on its transmission system point to multiple gear options, but the exact distribution of its 12 or 16 forward gears and 7 reverse gears is not clearly stated. The 1046 features a Category II hitch system, and its large operating weight of 8929 to 9700 pounds indicates its sturdiness and capacity to handle significant loads. Tire configurations vary between standard and optional, suggesting adaptability to different terrain or agricultural needs.
