* Engine Variations: The International 856 was produced for many years and offered with different engine options. Each engine had a unique horsepower rating.
* Horsepower Ratings: Horsepower ratings could vary based on the engine's condition, maintenance, and even the type of fuel being used.
To find the horsepower of your specific International 856, you need to know the following:
1. Engine Model: Identify the specific engine model (e.g., DT414, DT436). You can usually find this on a plate attached to the engine.
2. Year of Manufacture: This will help narrow down the possible engine options.
3. Engine Condition: A well-maintained engine will produce more horsepower than one that's neglected.
Where to find this information:
* Operator's Manual: The manual for your 856 tractor should specify the engine model and horsepower rating.
* Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Your VIN can help you identify the engine and year of manufacture. You can use online databases or contact your local International dealer.
* Engine Serial Number: The serial number on the engine block can help you determine the model and year.
Once you have this information, you can find the specific horsepower rating for your International 856. You may need to consult a service manual or online resources for specific details.
