Performance Horsepower Range: Varies by engine variant and specific model year, typically in the 40-60 HP range for diesel and slightly less for gasoline. Torque Characteristics: Designed for robust pulling power characteristic of agricultural tractors. Fuel System Diesel Injection: Features a Direct Injection Diesel system for efficient fuel combustion. Carburetor Type: Likely Zenith or Marvel-Schebler for gasoline variants. Lubrication Oil Type: Requires specific API service classification oils, typically multi-viscosity (e.g., SAE 30, 10W-30 depending on temperature). Manual will specify exact API rating and viscosity grade. Cooling System Coolant Type: Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant mixture. Manual will specify mixture ratio and additive requirements. Transmission Standard Gearbox Type: Likely a 6-speed or 12-speed (with multiplicator) manual transmission. Multiple transmission options were available. Optional Transfer Gearbox: Some models might have featured a transfer gearbox for PTO speed selection. Features Power Take Off: Standard PTO, with the manual covering its service and integration. Fluid Specifications Transmission Oil Type: Manual will specify the correct gear oil, likely a GL-4 rated SAE 90 or similar, also suitable for differential and final drives. Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Varies by configuration, but typically around 75-80 inches. Weights Operating Weight: Approximately 3,500 - 4,500 lbs, depending on configuration and fluids. Drawbar Pull Capacity: Significant, designed for agricultural work; specific rating not provided but is a key performance metric. Safety Features Active Features Braking System: Typically mechanical drum brakes, sometimes with independent parking brake function. Manual will detail operation and maintenance. Passive Features Operator Station: Open station design common for this era. Safety considerations would revolve around proper operation and guarding. Technology Features Infotainment Instrumentation: Basic instrumentation typical for the era: ammeter, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, tachometer (optional/dependent on model).
