International Harvester 624 Overview

The International Harvester 624 is listed from 1965 through 1972 with a 206.4 cu in (3.4 L) direct-injection diesel. Published data identifies both 8F/4R and 12F/4R drivetrain entries, including partially synchronized and Agriomatic S descriptions, so matching the fitted transmission is important before any service or parts decision.
The 624 is listed with independent 540/1000 PTO, mechanical rear differential lock, and 7.5 gpm hydraulic-pump flow. The 2WD and 4WD published weights are different, which is another reminder that one 624 specification should not be treated as universal without checking the tractor's configuration.
The manual links below provide operator, engine-service, and parts-catalog routes. Match the serial number, engine, transmission, loader or hitch equipment, and drive configuration before relying on a procedure or ordering a part.

Manuals and Documents
The linked operator-manual listing covers International 624, 724, and 824 tractors and provides a visible table of contents for controls, PTO, hydraulics, maintenance, and adjustments. It is a useful literature route, not a substitute for the complete manual matched to the exact tractor.
Separate engine-service and 624/724 diesel parts-manual listings are also linked. They must be checked against the engine, transmission, loader or hitch equipment, and serial number before use.

Parts Checks Before Ordering
Record the serial number, engine, 2WD or 4WD configuration, installed transmission, PTO equipment, hydraulic valves, hitch or loader, and wheel equipment before looking up a part. A 624 model name does not resolve those combinations.
The 624/724 diesel parts-manual listing includes front-loader coverage, so it is useful for identifying an assembly family. It is not proof that a part fits every 624; verify complete catalog coverage and tractor configuration before ordering.

Accuracy Note
Tractor specifications can vary by year, region, factory configuration, installed equipment, and later repairs. Match serial range, engine, transmission, PTO setup, and model code before ordering parts or doing service work.
