## Manufacturer’s Original Specifications

The following data represents the general engineering standards for the International Harvester 786 at the time of manufacture and may not reflect specific modifications or the current mechanical state of this unit.

| Feature | Specification |

| Transmission | Torque Amplifier, 8-speed forward |

## Ideal for:

The IH 786 is a practical utility tractor for a livestock or mixed operation that needs a reliable mid-horsepower diesel for raking, baling support, feeding, or general field work. At just under 6,500 hours with recent service completed and known issues transparently disclosed, this is a tractor a buyer can evaluate clearly and price accordingly.

The torque amplifier transmission is particularly useful for hay and forage work — on-the-go power shifting without a full clutch engagement reduces operator fatigue and improves field efficiency. Dual PTO covers both 540 and 1000 RPM implements.

## The International Harvester 786 Advantage:

The IH 86 series tractors are among the most trusted and well-supported diesel platforms ever built for Canadian farm conditions. The D-358 engine is known for pulling well, and the 86 series drivetrain has a strong reputation for longevity. Parts availability across Ontario is excellent, and independent mechanics with 86 series experience are common.

The known issues on this unit — return line seep, loose pivot pin, one soft rear tire, and the typical 86 series shifter play — are well-understood, manageable items on this platform, not structural concerns. The transparency of the disclosure is a positive signal
