The International Harvester Farmall 230 and 240 tractors were popular workhorses in the agricultural industry, known for their reliability and power. These models were produced in the 1960s and 1970s, featuring a robust design that was built to withstand the demands of farm work. The Farmall 230 was a smaller, more compact version of the 240, with both tractors offering a range of different engine options. The most common engine was the International Harvester D-239, a naturally aspirated diesel engine, known for its fuel efficiency and durability. These tractors were fitted with 6-speed transmissions, allowing operators to choose the appropriate gear for various tasks. Notably, the Farmall 240 was also available with a "Quad-Range" transmission, offering an added level of control and efficiency.
The Farmall 230 and 240 were equipped with a variety of hydraulic systems to power implements and attachments. The tractors featured a three-point hitch, allowing farmers to easily attach and detach implements such as plows, cultivators, and harrows. The hydraulic system also powered steering, making the tractors more responsive and easier to maneuver. Both the 230 and 240 were designed with operator comfort in mind, offering a spacious cab with a comfortable seat. These versatile tractors were widely used for a wide range of farming tasks, including plowing, seeding, cultivating, harvesting, and transporting goods. Their reputation for reliability, power, and ease of use solidified their place as valuable tools for farmers across the globe. As these tractors have aged, having a detailed repair manual like the one referenced above is essential for anyone looking to maintain, repair, or restore their Farmall 230 or 240.
