Make Model:
Allis-Chalmers Diesel (specific engine model designation varies by tractor variant, often a 6-cylinder diesel)
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 70-90 PTO horsepower range, with drawbar horsepower slightly lower. Specifics depend on engine tune and serial number.
Torque:
Designed for high torque output suitable for heavy draft applications. Specific figures vary.
Type:
Direct injection diesel, typically with a rotary or inline injection pump.
Carburetion If Applicable:
N/A (Diesel engines)
Capacity Gallons:
Approximately 15-18 gallons (specific value to be confirmed in manual).
Oil Capacity Quarts:
Approximately 16-20 quarts (specific value to be confirmed in manual, SAE 30 or 15W-40 recommended for diesel).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 200-250 operating hours or annually. Specific interval to be confirmed in manual.
Air Filter Cleaning:
Check and clean daily or as needed based on operating conditions; replace as per manual recommendations.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 1000-1200 operating hours or annually. Filter replacement should coincide.
Engine Oil:
API CD or CCMC D3 rated diesel engine oil, SAE 30 (warm weather) or 15W-40 (all-season). Refer to manual for exact specifications.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
Allis-Chalmers THF (Tractor Hydraulic Fluid) or equivalent meeting CAT TO-4 specification. Common viscosity is 10W.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixed with distilled water (50/50 ratio) for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition. Check manual for specific coolant type and additives.
Common Wear Points:
Hydraulic pump wear, PTO clutch engagement issues, wear in transmission gears, potential for radiator leaks, starter motor reliability.
Electrical Quirks:
Aging wiring harnesses can lead to intermittent electrical faults. Battery charging system components (generator/alternator) may require attention.
