Introduction

International Harvester 184 Lo-Boy Compact Utility Tractor

The International Harvester 184 Lo-Boy is a compact utility tractor produced between 1977 and 1980 at the Louisville, Kentucky facility. Designed for versatility in small-scale agricultural and grounds maintenance operations, this two-wheel-drive model is recognized for its low profile and maneuverability.

Engine and Powertrain

The tractor is powered by the International Harvester C60, a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine. With a displacement of 59.5 cubic inches (1.0 L) and a rated operating speed of 2300 RPM, the unit generates 18 horsepower (13.4 kW). The fuel system utilizes a Zenith 68YY7 carburetor, and the engine features a 7.5:1 compression ratio.

Transmission and Operation

The standard transmission is a 3-speed unsynchronized gear system paired with a mechanical dry disc clutch. An optional creeper range is available, expanding the configuration to 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, which allows for finer speed control during specialized tasks. Steering is manual, and the tractor is equipped with mechanical drum brakes.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system is driven by a gear pump providing a flow rate of 2 gallons per minute (7.6 lpm) at a pressure of 2000 psi (137.9 bar). The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent and operates via an electro-magnetic clutch, delivering 1600 RPM in a counter-clockwise rotation.

Dimensions and Chassis

Featuring a wheelbase of 64 inches (162 cm) and a ground clearance of 13 inches (33 cm), the 184 Lo-Boy is built for stability in confined spaces. The machine has an operating weight of 1,620 lbs (734 kg) and offers an open operator station for improved visibility.

Conclusion

"The International Harvester 184 Lo-Boy serves as a reliable utility tractor for users requiring a compact footprint. Its combination of a liquid-cooled engine, optional creeper transmission, and independent PTO makes it suitable for light agricultural duties, turf management, and general property maintenance."
