International 4166, 4166 Tractor Common Problems This Manual Covers
International 4166 engine temperature gauge spikes and tractor overheats during heavy summer field work p. 41
Inspect the fan belt tension on page 42. Verify the belt deflects 13/16-inch midway between the fan and crankshaft pulleys under a 25 pound load. Check the radiator core and fill the cooling system 2-1/2 inches above the core when cold as detailed on page 41.
Manual Section: Cooling SystemDashboard warning light indicates low engine oil pressure during continuous field operation p. 60
Replace the engine oil filters every 200 hours of operation, which is every second oil change. Apply a thin film of oil to the gasket, turn clockwise, and hand tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn after contact as shown on page 60. Do not use tools.
Manual Section: LubricationEngine lacks power and air cleaner service indicator shows restriction during dusty conditions p. 45
Remove the dry-type air cleaner housing and inspect the filters. Replace the safety air filter element after one year of service as directed on page 45. Clean the large filter element and verify all connections are tight before restarting the engine.
Manual Section: Air Cleaning SystemEngine fails to start or cranks slowly after prolonged idle in cold weather p. 23
Test the cranking system and battery voltage. Confirm the electrical system maintains a 12 volt neg. ground as specified on page 71. Review the troubleshooting procedures on page 23 to isolate fuel delivery issues, and bleed any trapped air from the lines before attempting another start.
