The International Harvester David Brown 1490 tractor, a stalwart of agricultural machinery in the 1970s and 80s, was a testament to the merging of two iconic tractor brands. Following International Harvester's acquisition of David Brown Tractors in 1979, the 1490 became a flagship model, embodying the strengths of both companies. This robust and versatile tractor was designed for a wide range of agricultural tasks, from plowing and cultivating to baling and harvesting. Its powerful Perkins engine, coupled with a robust transmission and hydraulic system, provided ample power and control for demanding agricultural operations. The 1490's spacious operator cab offered a comfortable working environment, while its intuitive controls ensured user-friendliness. The tractor's robust construction and durable components made it a reliable and long-lasting investment, capable of enduring the rigors of agricultural work over many years. The IH David Brown 1490 was available in various configurations to suit specific needs. The standard model featured a 4-cylinder Perkins engine, delivering 95 horsepower. However, the 1490 was also available with a larger 6-cylinder engine, boasting 125 horsepower, offering even greater power for heavier tasks. The 1490 was renowned for its versatility, with options for various implements and attachments. This allowed farmers to customize their tractor for diverse applications, enhancing its overall efficiency. Despite its age, the 1490 remains a popular choice for many farmers, thanks to its enduring reliability, robust construction, and strong performance. The availability of a comprehensive shop service repair manual, like the one mentioned, further ensures the longevity of these tractors, enabling owners to maintain and repair their machines with ease. This makes the IH David Brown 1490 a valuable asset for farmers seeking a reliable and capable workhorse for their agricultural operations.
