Paper Type Physical Paper Type If Applicable: N/A (assuming digital). ⚙️ Engine Specifications Primary Engine Engine Make Model: Allis-Chalmers 4-cylinder diesel or gasoline engines (specific to Series IV variants, e.g., Model 262 diesel, Model 201 gasoline). Performance Horsepower Range: Typically in the 40-55 PTO horsepower range, depending on engine option and configuration. Torque Characteristics: Designed for strong lugging power characteristic of diesel engines in agricultural applications. Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel or Gasoline Carburetor Injection: Gasoline engines used carburetors; diesel engines used injection pumps (e.g., Roosa Master, Simms). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type Standard: Constant mesh gearbox with multiple forward and reverse speeds, often coupled with the Power Director. Optional Transmission Type Optional: Power Director (a 3-speed planetary gear reduction unit providing 'on-the-go' shifting between gear sets). Features Power Take Off Pto: Live PTO (dependent on clutch operation) or independent PTO (engine speed independent of transmission speed), usually 540/1000 RPM. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Approximately 84 inches (2134 mm). Overall Length: Approximately 120-130 inches (3048-3302 mm) depending on hitch and configuration. Weights Operating Weight: Typically around 5,000-6,000 lbs (2268-2722 kg) without ballast. Drawbar Pull Capacity: Significant, designed for moderate to heavy tillage work. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Operator Safety Era: Reflects safety standards of the late 1950s and early 1960s; features like roll bars or seatbelts were not standard. Active Features Braking System Type: Internal expanding shoe brakes, typically foot-operated, sometimes with inter-locking feature. Passive Features Operator Station: Open operator's station with fenders; a platform provides foot placement. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Infotainment System: Not applicable; tractor is from an era before modern infotainment systems. Driver Assistance Driver Assistance Features: Not applicable; basic mechanical controls only. Connectivity Connectivity Features: Not applicable. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Typically every 100-200 operating hours, or annually, depending on usage and oil type. Transmission Hydraulic Fluid: Change interval varies, but typically every 600-1200 operating hours; inspect regularly. Air Filter Maintenance: Check and clean/replace frequently, especially in dusty conditions (e.g., every 50-100 hours). Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: API Service CD or SE, SAE 30 or 10W-30 (depending on ambient temperature and diesel/gasoline).
