The procedures suit mechanics and experienced owners already comfortable with tractor splitting, precision measurements, and hydraulic pressure testing.
C-123 and C-135 Engine Service
The engine section distinguishes cylinder-head fastener layouts and serial-number changes, with valve-seat, guide, spring, piston, sleeve, and bearing data. Cylinder-head tightening sequences and timing-gear installation details support reassembly.
Cooling-system coverage includes radiator removal, thermostat specifications, fan service, and separate water-pump procedures for the different model groups.
Carburetor Tables and LP-Gas Repair
The gasoline-carburetor section lists applications, service parts, and float settings for Carter, Zenith, and Marvel-Schebler units, including the Carter UT2222S used on gasoline Series 100 tractors.
For 404/2404 LP-Gas models, separate sections describe Ensign Mg 1 carburetor and model W regulator overhaul, fuel-system adjustment, and troubleshooting. Regulator coverage explains the high- and low-pressure chambers and idle circuit.
Transmission, PTO, and Hydra-Creeper Coverage
Separate procedures address spline shafts, countershafts, reverse idlers, differential bearings, bevel-gear tooth contact, and shim selection. The Dual Range and Forward and Reverse exploded view identifies the additional reverse components and PTO drive arrangement.
Hydra-Creeper coverage consists of motor and transmission exploded views, an installation layout, and clutch-bearing requirements; it does not include a dedicated overhaul procedure. The manual warns that the standard Graphitar release bearing can overheat and fail under the continuous operation required by this attachment.
Hydraulic Fault Isolation and Steering Service
Touch-Control and Hydra-Touch troubleshooting charts relate lift failures, slow movement, and load settling to pressure readings. These distinctions help separate pump and valve faults from cylinder leakage or restrictions in the implement and linkage. The Hydra-Touch tests specify the IH SP-121-A test fixture.
The Tel-A-Depth schematic explains the follow-up cable and rockshaft connection, with control-valve indexing and linkage adjustments. Separate 404/2404 sections cover draft and position control, drop-poppet adjustment, auxiliary valves, and rockshaft service.
Hydraulic-pump overhaul is limited to cleaning and replacing gaskets and seals; excessive wear or damage to internal parts calls for pump replacement. Valve-service instructions also warn that excessive mounting-bolt torque can distort the body and bind the spool.
Power-steering coverage includes pressure-test connections, the 240 flow-control schematic, and rotary-valve service using the IHC FES-64-5 check-valve-seat installation tool.
Tractor splitting and hydraulic work require properly rated supports and pressure relief before line removal.
Distributor Data and Wiring Diagrams
The manual separates International Harvester battery-ignition distributor data from Delco-Remy charging and starting specifications. Series 140 ignition data distinguish engines before serial number 73050 from those at 73050 and above.
Wiring diagrams cover the Series 140 and Farmall 240, with the International 240 identified as similar. The electrical tables give generator-output, regulator-setting, and starting-motor test data.
A Sample of Engine and Ignition Specifications
These examples are a small selection of the manual's service data. Cooling-system capacity is listed as 3¾ gallons for the covered models, while the engine oil-pump section specifies 45–55 psi oil pressure at governed speed.
The ignition data distinguish a 0.020-inch breaker-contact gap for battery-ignition distributors from a 0.013-inch gap for H-4 magnetos, alongside unit identification and timing information.
PDF Search, Bookmarks, and Page Count
Text search and diagram detail: Embedded OCR supports text searches, although recognition errors can affect exact terms and numbers. PDF bookmarks lead to the main service sections. Small labels in the 140 and 240 wiring diagrams require zooming for comfortable reading.
Supplied in English as one printable 56-page PDF. The total includes one cover page, one index page, one condensed service-data page, and 53 pages of workshop content.
