Engine Specifications
|
Primary Engine
|
Engine Options:
|
The 826 Tractor was available with both diesel and gasoline engine options. Diesel typically featured the D-282 or D-310, while gasoline models used a C-201 or C-221 engine. Specific details within the manual would cover these variants.
|
Performance
|
Diesel Engine Details:
|
Diesel engines (e.g., D-310) typically produced around 84 PTO horsepower and 72 drawbar horsepower, with torque figures relevant to agricultural work. The manual would detail specific power curves and operational parameters.
|
Fuel System
|
Diesel Fuel System:
|
Covers injection pumps (e.g., CAV), injectors, fuel filters, and associated lines and components for diesel models.
|
Gasoline Fuel System:
|
Covers carburetors, ignition systems, fuel pumps, and filters for gasoline models.
|
Cooling System
|
Cooling System Type:
|
Pressurized, coolant-based system with radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat. Manual covers flushing, refill procedures, and component replacement.
|
Lubrication System
|
Oil Specifications:
|
The manual would specify required engine oil viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 30 for diesel, SAE 10W-30 for gasoline, depending on ambient temperature) and API service classifications (e.g., CD for diesel). It would also detail oil filter part numbers and capacities.
|
Transmission
|
Standard
|
Gearbox Type:
|
Likely equipped with a 10-speed or 12-speed manual transmission, often a constant mesh gearbox, with a high-low range selector for total speeds. Options might include a torque amplifier (TA) or power shift transmission.
|
Optional
|
Torque Amplifier:
|
The Torque Amplifier (TA) was a common option, effectively providing a 20-speed or 24-speed transmission, allowing shifting under load without clutching. The manual would detail its operation, maintenance, and repair.
|
Features
|
Transmission Fluid:
|
Manual would specify the correct transmission and hydraulic fluid type, likely IH Hy-Trans or equivalent, and its capacity. It would detail fluid change intervals and filter replacement.
|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Engine Oil Change:
|
Typically every 100-200 operating hours, depending on application and oil type used. Manual would provide exact intervals and oil capacity.
|
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Change:
|
Usually every 600-1200 operating hours. Manual would detail fluid type, capacity, and filter replacement intervals.
|
Air Filter Service:
|
Service or replacement based on operating conditions, often indicated by loss of power or restriction warnings. Manual would detail cleaning and replacement procedures.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
|
IH Hy-Trans or equivalent high-quality tractor hydraulic fluid with excellent shear stability and anti-wear properties. Capacity around 10-15 gallons.
|
Coolant Type:
|
A mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water, typically a 50/50 ratio for optimal freeze protection and corrosion inhibition. Manual would specify the required type and capacity.
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Potential wear on clutch packs, Torque Amplifier components, hydraulic pumps and seals, and PTO clutch discs. Manual would provide diagnostic and repair procedures for these.
|
Electrical Problems:
|
Aging wiring harnesses, corroded connections, and starter/alternator issues can arise. The manual's detailed wiring diagrams are crucial for troubleshooting.
