Case IH 574 Tractor Parts

574 parts and accessories

The Case IH 574, manufactured from 1971 to 1978, was a popular utility tractor known for its reliability and versatility on farms. Powered by a diesel or gasoline engine producing around 54 horsepower, the 574 offered a practical solution for various agricultural tasks. Its robust design and efficient PTO horsepower made it a favorite for haying, livestock operations, and general farm work.

Introduced in 1971, the Case IH 574 replaced earlier models and quickly gained a reputation for dependability. Engine options included an International Harvester 236 cubic inch diesel engine, producing approximately 54 horsepower, or a gasoline engine of similar displacement and horsepower. The transmission was typically a gear-driven, 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing a good range of speeds for different applications. The independent PTO delivered around 48 horsepower at 540 RPM, suitable for operating implements like mowers, balers, and rotary cutters. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 9 gallons per minute, powering the 3-point hitch, which was a Category I or II, depending on the hitch configuration, with a lift capacity of approximately 2,800 lbs. Common uses included row crop operations, hay production, livestock feeding, and light tillage. The 574 distinguished itself from larger Case IH models with its compact size and maneuverability, while offering more power and capabilities than smaller utility tractors, making it a balanced and practical choice for many farmers.
