Introduction
International Harvester 475 Utility Tractor
The International Harvester 475 is a utility tractor produced between 1974 and 1977 at the International Harvester plant in Doncaster, England. Designed for versatility in agricultural operations, this model occupies a mid-range power segment within the 474 series lineage.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a Perkins A4.212 diesel engine. This 3.5-liter, four-cylinder unit is liquid-cooled and produces 60 hp (44.7 kW) at a rated engine speed of 2300 rpm. The engine configuration provides stable torque delivery for standard field implements.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can choose between a partially synchronized transmission offering 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, or an optional 16-speed transmission equipped with a two-speed 'Torque Amplifier' power shift. The drivetrain features a hydraulic wet disc clutch, a mechanical rear differential lock, and a planetary final drive system to manage power distribution effectively.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system provides a pump flow of 11.9 gpm (45.0 lpm). The rear hitch is configured as a Category II/I system, featuring both position and draft control, and supports a maximum lift capacity of 3969 lbs (1800 kg). An independent rear PTO is standard, providing selectable speeds of 540 or 1000 rpm.
Mechanical and Operator Station
The 475 is a two-wheel-drive machine featuring power steering and wet disc brakes for improved handling. The tractor is built on an 84.5-inch wheelbase with an open operator station, though factory options included a four-post ROPS or a full cab enclosure for operator protection.
Conclusion
With a base weight of 5733 lbs and a balance of mechanical simplicity and performance, the International Harvester 475 remains a functional utility tool for general farming tasks, maintenance, and light-to-medium field work.
