Heart of a Champion: The Kerosene-Burning Engine

At its core, the 15-30 boasts a robust liquid-cooled, horizontal valve-in-head 4-cylinder engine. Designed to run on kerosene, this powerhouse delivers a substantial 33 horsepower at a steady 575 RPM. With a generous displacement of 692.7 cubic inches (11.4 L) and a bore/stroke of 5.25x8.00 inches, this engine was built for endurance and sustained performance, ensuring farmers could rely on it season after season.

This setup, combined with its two-wheel drive system, provided farmers with the necessary versatility to maneuver and work efficiently across various terrains and implement requirements. It’s a testament to the era's focus on functional and durable mechanical solutions.

Built to Last: Dimensions and Durability

Weighing in at a substantial 8990 lbs (4077 kg), the International Harvester 15-30 is a machine built for stability and presence. Its dimensions – 140.5 inches (356 cm) in length, 85 inches (215 cm) in width, and 118 inches (299 cm) to the top of the steering wheel – are supported by rugged steel tires: 40x7 for the front and a massive 66x14 for the rear, ready to grip the earth.

Operator Experience: Open Station Ready for Work

The 15-30 features an open operator station, providing excellent visibility of the work at hand. For those seeking a bit more comfort or protection from the elements, an optional four-post canopy was available, enhancing the operator's experience during long working days.
