Common engine families of the era include the Ford 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engines. Performance Horsepower Range: Horsepower typically ranged from approximately 35 HP (2610) to 60 HP (4610), depending on the specific model and engine variant. Torque Characteristics: Designed for strong low-end torque suitable for pulling implements and maintaining power under load. Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel Injection System: Likely employed rotary or inline injection pumps (e.g., CAV, Bosch) with indirect or direct injection, depending on the specific engine. Filtration would be crucial. Cooling System Type: Liquid-cooled, pressurized system with radiator, fan, and thermostat. Air Intake Filtration: Typically a dry-type air filter, often with a pre-cleaner (e.g., cyclone or oil bath) for dusty environments. Manual will detail replacement intervals and cleaning procedures. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Likely a constant mesh, sliding gear transmission. Gear configurations varied by model, typically offering 8-16 forward and 2-8 reverse gears. Optional Transmission Options: Some models might have offered a Select-O-Speed (a form of hydrostatic or torque converter automatic transmission), though less common on these utility tractors. A creeper gear option might have been available for very slow speeds. Features Pto Engagement: PTO engagement was usually manual (clutch operated) or via a independent PTO lever, offering 540 RPM standard, and potentially 1000 RPM PTO as an option. Differential Lock: Pedal-activated mechanical differential lock for enhanced traction in slippery conditions. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Varies by model, but generally in the range of 70-85 inches (approx. 1780-2160 mm). Overall Length: Varies by model, typically around 120-140 inches (approx. 3050-3550 mm). Weights Operating Weight: Approximate operating weight (without ballast) generally ranged from 3,500 to 5,500 lbs...
