Introduction
International Harvester 1468 Row-Crop Tractor
The International Harvester 1468 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1971 and 1974 in Rock Island, Illinois. This model is notable for its integration of an International DV-550 V8 engine, distinguishing it from the standard 1466 series.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an International DV-550, a liquid-cooled V8 diesel engine with a displacement of 548.7 cubic inches (9.0 liters). It operates at a rated speed of 2400 RPM and produces 147 horsepower. The engine requires 15.1 liters of oil and 28.4 liters of coolant for proper maintenance.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1468 offers two transmission options: a standard 8-speed gear transmission with 4 reverse gears, or the optional Torque Amplifier, a two-speed power shift system providing 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. Both configurations utilize a dry disc clutch. The tractor features two-wheel drive with bull gear final drives and power steering.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center design with a pump flow of 12 gpm (45.4 lpm) and a dedicated steering flow of 9 gpm (34.1 lpm). It includes one rear valve. The independent rear PTO operates at 1000 RPM, and the rear 3-point hitch (category III/II) provides a lift capacity of 5600 lbs (2540 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
With a wheelbase of 105 inches (266 cm) and an operating weight of 11,850 lbs (5375 kg), the machine is designed for stability in field operations. The operator station comes standard with an air-conditioned cab. It is equipped with 11L-16 front tires and 18.4-38 rear tires.
