Case IH 454 Tractor Parts

454 parts and accessories

The Case IH 454 tractor, manufactured from 1972 to 1975, was a reliable workhorse powered by a 44 HP diesel engine. With a PTO horsepower rating of approximately 39 HP, the 454 proved popular for its versatility in various farming tasks. Farmers appreciated its robust build and ease of operation, making it a staple in fields across the country.

The Case IH 454 was introduced in 1972 as part of the International Harvester (IH) line, later becoming Case IH after the merger. Production continued through 1975. It was powered by an IH BD-154 4-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 44 engine horsepower with a displacement of 154 cubic inches. This engine delivered ample power for a variety of farm tasks. The transmission was typically a gear-type with 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, providing a good range for field work and transport. The PTO delivered approximately 39 horsepower at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 7.5 GPM, powering implements efficiently. It featured a Category I 3-point hitch. Common applications included row crop work, hay baling, livestock feeding, and light tillage. What distinguished the 454 from other models in the lineup was its size and horsepower, placing it in a sweet spot for farmers needing a capable but not overly large tractor for a wide range of tasks. It was a step up from smaller utility tractors but more economical than larger row-crop machines.
