The Farmall 460 is a two-wheel drive (2WD) row-crop tractor, manufactured by International Harvester (IH) between 1958 and 1963. The Farmall 460 tractor is equipped with C-221 6-cylinder gasoline or D-236 diesel-powered engine and sliding gear transmission with 5 forward and 1 reverse gear. This row-crop tractor was the smallest of the six-cylinder tractors in the new line, rated for four plows.
The International Harvester C221 engine operates with gasoline or optional LP (liquefied petroleum) gas. A 90.0 mm (3.54 in) cylinder bore and 94.0 mm (3.7 in) piston stroke give the C221 motor a total of 3.6 L (221 cu-in) of displacement. Compression ratio rating is 7.2:1 for gasoline version, the LP gas version slightly higher at 8.75:1. Both the gasoline and LP gas versions of the C221 engine provide 50 HP (37.3 kW) and 1,800 rpm.
The Farmall 460 has an optional six-cylinder, International Harvester D236 diesel-powered engine with 3.9 L (236 cu-in) of displacement. The D236 engine has a 94.0 mm (3.7 in) of the cylinder bore and 94.0 mm (3.7 in) of piston stroke and providing identical 50 HP (37.3 kW) and 1,800 rpm of the C-221.
The 460 is equipped with a sliding gear transmission. The transmission has 5 forward (2.4-26.7 km/h, 2.6-16.6 mph) and 1 reverse (5.1 km/h, 3.2 mph) gears.
The tractor used power steering and differential mechanical disc brakes. The Farmall 460 has an open operator station.
