Overview

The International Harvester B-434 is a 2-wheel drive tractor with a 4x2 chassis. It has a mechanical steering system and an 8-speed forward, 2-speed reverse transmission. This setup gives the driver good control over the tractor's speed and power in different farming situations.

Under the hood, the B-434 has a 4-cylinder diesel engine made by International Harvester. The BD-154 engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, meaning it doesn't use a turbocharger. It has a displacement of 154 cubic inches, with a 3.5-inch bore and 4-inch stroke. The engine runs at 2000 RPM and produces 43 horsepower, which is enough power for many farm tasks. The tractor starts up easily with its electric starter.

International Harvester was a well-known American company that made farm equipment for many years. The B-434 model shows their focus on building reliable, straightforward tractors for farmers. While it may not have all the fancy features of newer tractors, the B-434 is a solid workhorse that can handle many jobs around the farm.
