International Harvester HG

The International Harvester HG is a vintage tractor with a 4x2 2WD chassis configuration. It was powered by International Harvester's own EG35 engine, which ran on wood gas. This unique fuel source was a common alternative during times of petrol scarcity. The tractor's displacement is 124.7 cubic inches with a bore and stroke of 3.15 inches by 4.00 inches. It was capable of producing 20 horsepower at a rated RPM of 1650. This model utilized a straightforward 4-speed gear transmission with 1 reverse gear. Tire-wise, it sported 6.00x16 front tires, which may have been steel for the fronts, and larger 9.00x40 rear tires, the rim size following the tire diameter. With a length of 137.8 inches, a width of 78.7 inches, and a height of 74.8 inches, its dimensions made it robust for a range of agricultural tasks. Details such as the tractor’s weight, hitch capabilities, and hydraulic system remain undiscovered, hinting at the model's place in a bygone era of farming—where such specifications might not have been as standardized as they are today.
