The International Harvester 85, 485, 585, 685, 785, and 885 XL Hydro tractors, collectively known as the "85 Series," were a line of versatile agricultural machines produced by International Harvester from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. These tractors were renowned for their robust construction, reliable performance, and user-friendly design. The "XL" designation indicated a larger frame and increased horsepower compared to earlier models. The 85 series was powered by a range of diesel engines, offering various horsepower options to suit different farming needs. These tractors featured a hydrostatic transmission, which provided smooth and responsive operation, allowing for precise control over speed and direction. The hydrostatic system also eliminated the need for a clutch pedal, simplifying operation and reducing operator fatigue. The International Harvester 85 series tractors were widely used for a multitude of agricultural tasks, including plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, and hauling. Their compact size and maneuverability made them ideal for working in tight spaces, while their powerful engines and robust construction enabled them to handle demanding workloads. These tractors were also equipped with a variety of optional attachments, such as loaders, backhoes, and mowers, further increasing their versatility. The 85 series tractors were highly regarded for their reliability and durability, with many units still in operation today. The availability of a comprehensive service and repair manual, like the one described, is crucial for ensuring continued functionality and extending the lifespan of these valuable machines.
