Case IH 606 Tractor Parts

606 parts and accessories

The Case IH 606 tractor, manufactured from 1958 to 1963, was a reliable workhorse on American farms. Powered by an International Harvester C-264 engine producing around 61 horsepower (advertised), the 606 offered a solid 53 PTO horsepower. Farmers appreciated its durability and versatility for various field tasks, making it a popular choice for its time.

The Case IH 606 was part of the '60' series of tractors introduced by International Harvester (later Case IH) in the late 1950s. It was produced from 1958 to 1963. The 606 was powered by an International Harvester C-264 engine, a 264 cubic inch (4.3 L) inline 4-cylinder engine that delivered approximately 61 advertised horsepower. These engines were available in both gasoline and diesel versions. The transmission was typically a gear-driven transmission offering 5 forward and 1 reverse speeds. The PTO (Power Take-Off) was rated at approximately 53 horsepower, available in a standard 540 RPM configuration. The hydraulic system provided a flow rate of around 11 GPM, powering two remote hydraulic valves. The 3-point hitch was a Category II, capable of lifting around 3,000 lbs. The 606 was often used for row crop work, hay baling, general livestock operations, and light tillage. Compared to other models in the lineup, like the smaller 504, the 606 offered more power and lifting capacity, making it suitable for larger farms or more demanding tasks.

Maintenance Tips

Change engine oil and filter every 125-250 hours, using a high-quality oil designed for agricultural diesel or gasoline engines.
Regularly inspect hydraulic fluid levels and check for leaks. Replace hydraulic filters per the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent contamination and maintain hydraulic system performance.
Check and clean the fuel filter regularly, especially when using lower-quality fuel, to prevent fuel starvation and ensure optimal engine performance.
Before storing the tractor for extended periods, drain the fuel tank, add a fuel stabilizer, and lubricate all grease fittings to prevent rust and corrosion.
