* Many Models: International has produced a vast number of tractors with 6-cylinder engines over the years. Each model (and even different engine variations within a model) can have a different firing order.
* Need Specific Information: To determine the firing order, I'd need to know the exact model of the tractor and the engine it has.
How to Find the Firing Order:
1. Check the Owner's Manual: The most reliable source is your tractor's owner's manual. It will contain detailed information about your engine, including the firing order.
2. Look for Engine Tags: Many engines have tags or markings that provide information like the firing order. These tags are often located on the engine block, valve cover, or distributor.
3. Consult a Service Manual: Service manuals specific to your tractor model will have the firing order listed.
4. Contact International: Reach out to International Harvester's customer support or an authorized dealer. They can provide information specific to your tractor.
General Tips for Understanding Firing Orders:
* Numbering Cylinders: Cylinders are typically numbered from 1 to 6, starting from the front of the engine (the flywheel side).
* Firing Order Sequence: The firing order indicates the sequence in which the cylinders ignite. For example, a common firing order for a 6-cylinder engine is 1-5-3-6-2-4.
