Specific displacement, bore, stroke, and number of cylinders would be detailed in the manual. Performance Performance: Horsepower and torque figures would be specific to the engine variant fitted. The manual would provide these details along with operating ranges and performance tuning guidelines. Fuel System Fuel System: Typically a diesel fuel system including fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel filter(s), injection pump (e.g., Bosch or Simms), injectors, and potentially a glow plug system for cold starts. The manual would cover fuel system maintenance, bleeding, injection pump timing, and injector testing. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission: Likely a constant mesh manual transmission with multiple forward and reverse gears. Some variants might have offered a creeper gear or a dual-speed PTO. Optional Optional: The mention of 'Automatic Transaxle System' in the product description is unusual for tractors of this era and may refer to a torque converter or a specific type of power shifting, though less common. More likely, it refers to auxiliary hydraulic power systems or PTO engagement types. Features Features: Clutch operation (single or dual-stage), gear selection, PTO engagement, differential lock (if equipped), and potentially a live PTO option. The manual would detail clutch adjustments, transmission fluid changes, and internal component servicing. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Exterior: Overall length, width, and height would be specified. Wheelbase, ground clearance, and turning radius are also critical dimensions detailed in service manuals. Weights Weights: Operating weight, shipping weight, and drawbar pull capacity would be important metrics. Ballasting capabilities (water or cast iron) would also be relevant. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Ratings: Tractor safety standards of the era were different from modern vehicles. The manual would cover operational safety guidelines, advice on operating on slopes, and importance of ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) if equipped or recommended. Active Features Active Features: Brake system effectiveness, steering system precision, and proper operation of safety guards and shields for PTO and other rotating components. Proper tire inflation and maintenance contribute to active safety. Passive Features Passive Features: Operator presence levers, safety switches for PTO and transmission, and any factory-fitted ROPS or seatbelts. The manual would emphasize correct assembly and...
