Case IH 141 Combine Parts
141 parts and accessories
The Case IH 141 combine, manufactured in the late 1970s and early 1980s, provided reliable performance for grain farmers. Powered by an International Harvester engine around 140 HP, it efficiently harvested crops with available header widths spanning up to 15 feet. Its conventional separator system made it a popular choice for its simplicity and ease of maintenance, providing a cost-effective harvesting solution.
The Case IH 141 was a staple of the Case IH combine lineup, produced from 1978 to 1984. It was powered by an International Harvester 414 cubic inch displacement diesel engine, delivering approximately 140 horsepower. The 141 utilized a conventional threshing system, relying on a cylinder and concave for grain separation. This system, while not as high-capacity as later rotary designs, was known for its dependability and ease of adjustment. The grain tank held around 145 bushels, and the unloading auger could empty the tank at a rate of approximately 50 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 15 feet, accommodating various field sizes and crop types. Optional features included a straw chopper or spreader for managing crop residue. The operator cab offered basic controls and visibility, typical for its era, providing a functional workspace for the harvesting season. The Case IH 141 excelled in harvesting a range of grains, including wheat, soybeans, and corn, making it a versatile machine for many farming operations.
