|
|
Engine Specifications
|
|
Primary Engine
|
|
Engine Type:
|
Likely a 3 or 4-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine. Specific engine family would be based on the model year and manufacturing plant, common families include the AD4.248 or similar Perkins (as David Brown often used Perkins engines) or David Brown's own engine designs.
|
|
Displacement:
|
Typically in the range of 3.5 to 4.5 liters (215 to 275 cubic inches) for this tractor class. For example, the AD4.248 Perkins engine is 4.248 liters.
|
|
Bore X Stroke:
|
Specific dimensions would be detailed in the manual, but common for this era might be around 98.5 mm x 127 mm (3.88 in x 5.00 in) for a 4.248 engine.
|
|
Compression Ratio:
|
Likely around 16:1 to 17:1 for naturally aspirated diesel engines of this era.
|
|
Performance
|
|
Horsepower Rating:
|
Horsepower output would vary, but typically in the range of 70-90 PTO horsepower (Power Take-Off horsepower) for a tractor of this size and configuration. Drawbar horsepower would be slightly lower.
|
|
Torque Rating:
|
Torque figures would be detailed in the manual, crucial for pulling power in field operations. Likely in the range of 200-250 lb-ft at governed engine speed.
|
|
Fuel System
|
|
Injection Type:
|
Likely a Bosch inline fuel injection pump or distributor type system, with direct injection into the combustion chamber.
|
|
Fuel Type:
|
Diesel fuel.
|
|
Maintenance
|
|
Service Intervals
|
|
Engine Oil Change:
|
Typically every 250 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Specific oil viscosity and API service classification will be in the manual (e.g., SAE 15W-40 API CD or CE).
|
|
Transmission Hydraulic Oil Change:
|
Intervals usually around 1000 hours. The manual will specify the type and quantity of hydraulic fluid (e.g., UTF - Universal Tractor Transmission fluid).
|
|
Fuel Filter Replacement:
|
Recommended every 500 hours or as needed if experiencing fuel system issues.
|
|
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
|
Check and clean air filter element at least weekly under dusty conditions; replace as needed (typically every 500-1000 hours).
|
|
Fluid Specifications
|
|
Engine Oil:
|
Refer to the manual for exact API classification and SAE viscosity grade. Likely a high-quality diesel engine oil.
|
|
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
|
Universal Tractor Transmission (UTT) fluid or a specified UTF fluid. Capacities for transmission, hydraulics, and final drives will be detailed.
|
|
Coolant:
|
A mixture of ethylene glycol coolant and distilled water, typically a 50/50 mix, for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition. Specific coolant type (e.g., OAT or HOAT) would be specified.
|
|
Known Issues
|
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Clutch wear, hydraulic system leaks (especially from pumps and seals), electrical connections corrosion, potential overheating if cooling system is neglected, wear in PTO clutch packs.
|
|
Diesel Engine Issues:
|
Glow plug operation for cold starting, injector pump timing and wear, valve seat recession in older engines.
|
|
Electrical Glitches:
|
Loose connections, frayed wiring, or faulty switches in older electrical systems can lead to intermittent issues with lights, starting, or auxiliary functions.
|
|
Hydraulic Performance:
|
Loss of hydraulic pressure or slow operation can be due to worn pumps, internal leaks in cylinders or valves, or low fluid levels/contaminated fluid.
