Farmall 140
The Farmall 140 is a utility tractor that was made from 1958 to 1973. It's a small, simple tractor that's good for many farm jobs. The 140 has a 2-wheel drive system and manual steering, which means it's easy to control but might need more effort on rough ground. Under the hood, the Farmall 140 has a 4-cylinder gasoline engine made by International Harvester. The engine is liquid-cooled and has average power for its size, putting out 21.1 hp at 1400 rpm. It has a 4-speed transmission with one reverse gear, which gives the driver good control over speed. The tractor has a rear hitch for attaching tools and a power take-off (PTO) that runs at 540 rpm for powering equipment. At 3000 lb, it's a lightweight tractor that's easy to move around the farm. The open operator station means the driver can easily see and hear what's going on around them while working.
