Introduction
Farmall 130 Row-Crop Tractor
The Farmall 130 is a row-crop tractor manufactured by International Harvester between 1956 and 1958. It belongs to a series of tractors produced from 1954 to 1973 and was designed as a versatile, two-wheel-drive machine for mid-century agricultural operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the International Harvester C-123, a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. This liquid-cooled, vertical I-head engine produces 24 horsepower at a rated speed of 1400 RPM. It features an oil bath air cleaner and utilizes a 6-volt electrical system. The engine has a compression ratio of 6.8:1 and a firing order of 1-3-4-2.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is transferred through a sliding gear transmission providing four forward gears and one reverse gear. The drivetrain utilizes a dry disc clutch for engagement. The tractor is configured as a two-wheel-drive unit with manual steering and mechanical contracting band brakes located at the differential.
Hydraulics and Implements
The Farmall 130 is equipped with a rear power take-off (PTO) operating at 540 RPM. For implement attachment, it utilizes the IH Fast-Hitch system, a single-arm design intended to facilitate the rapid connection and disconnection of row-crop implements.
Dimensions and Chassis
The tractor has a wheelbase of 71 inches (180 cm) and an overall length of 107 inches (271 cm). With a width of 56 inches (142 cm) and a ground clearance of 21.9 inches (55 cm), it is suited for row-crop applications. The operating weight is 2,800 lbs (1,270 kg), which can be increased to 4,650 lbs (2,109 kg) with ballast. It rides on 5.00x15 front tires and 9.00x24 rear tires.
Conclusion
With 9,197 units produced, the Farmall 130 served as a durable and maneuverable solution for farmers requiring a reliable 24-horsepower tractor for row-crop cultivation during the late 1950s.
