Engine Specifications Primary Engine Engine Family: BMC diesel engines (specific variants and displacements will depend on the exact tractor model within the 'Mini Tractor' range, e.g., 1.5L, 2.5L). Performance Typical Horsepower Range: Approximately 15-25 HP (depending on specific engine variant). Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel. Injection System: Typically rotary or inline injection pumps (e.g., CAV, Lucas). Cooling System Cooling Method: Water-cooled (thermosiphon or pump assisted). Lubrication System Oil Type Recommendation: Refer to manual for specific API/ACEA classifications (likely single-grade or multi-grade oils like SAE 30, 10W-30, 15W-40 depending on temperature). Engine Rebuild Key Rebuild Components: Piston rings, bearings (main, con-rod), cylinder liners, valve seats, gaskets, seals. Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Manual gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears (e.g., 4-speed, 6-speed, or higher depending on model). Optional Gear Reduction Options: Some models might have high-low range selectors or creeper gears. Features Clutch Type: Dry single-plate clutch. Differential: Locking differential often available or standard on rear axle for improved traction. Fluid Specifications Gearbox Oil Type: Refer to manual for specific GL ratings (e.g., GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil). Pto Pto Speeds: Typically 540 RPM, potentially with ground speed PTO (e.g., 1 RPM per engine RPM at a specific gear). Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Variable, but typically compact for maneuverability (e.g., 60-70 inches). Weights Operating Weight: Approximately 1000-1500 kg (2200-3300 lbs) without ballast. Tires Front Tire Size Typical: e.g., 4.00-12, 4.50-14, 5.00-15. Rear Tire Size Typical: e.g., 8.3/8-24, 9.5/9-28, 11.2/10-28. Safety Features Ratings Roll Over Protection: ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) not standard on earliest models; often an aftermarket addition or optional feature on later 1968+ models. Manual will likely cover its installation/maintenance if equipped. Active Features Braking System Type: Mechanical drum brakes or hydraulic drum brakes, often with independent rear wheel braking and/or a master cylinder for foot brake. Technology Features Infotainment Instrumentation: Basic dashboard with gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, ammeter/voltmeter, fuel level, and potentially an hour meter. Driver Assistance Traction Aids: Mechanical differential lock (if equipped). Connectivity Electrical System Voltage: Typically 12-volt negative earth system for models from the late 1960s onwards. Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change Interval: Typically every 100-250 operating hours, or annually, depending on operating conditions and oil type used. Air Filter Service Interval: Frequent checks, especially in dusty conditions; cleaning/replacement based on condition or every 50-100 hours. Fuel Filter Service Interval: Dependent on fuel quality; typically replaced every 250-500 hours or annually. Fluid Specifications Hydraulic Transmission Fluid: Refer...
