Parts Identification And Ordering:
Facilitates identification of correct replacement parts for maintenance, repair, and restoration. Enables accurate part ordering for dealers and service technicians.
Parts Interchangeability:
Visuals and part numbers help identify if certain parts are common across different serial number ranges or minor variations of the D14.
Technical Detail Level:
Comprehensive parts listing with part numbers, descriptive names, and visual representation. Essential for understanding assembly and disassembly of components.
Part Number Reference:
Provides official Allis-Chalmers part numbers for every listed component, essential for ordering from dealers or aftermarket suppliers.
Assembly Diagrams:
Exploded view diagrams show the correct sequence and orientation of parts for assembly and disassembly.
Part Identification By Illustration:
High-quality illustrations and exploded views are the primary method of identifying parts. This is crucial for users unfamiliar with tractor nomenclature.
Maintenance Focus:
While this is a parts catalog, it is indispensable for sourcing correct service parts. Actual service intervals (e.g., oil changes, filter replacements) would be found in an accompanying service or owner's manual.
Fluid Identification:
The catalog will identify specific fluid reservoirs and filter types, enabling users to reference correct fluid specifications from other documentation. Common fluids would include engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and transmission/differential lubricant.
Engine Oil Type Recommendation:
Referencing the D14's era, recommended engine oil would typically be a heavy-duty diesel engine oil, likely in the SAE 30 or 10W-30 viscosity range, meeting API CD or similar specifications.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Allis-Chalmers typically specified their own brand of hydraulic fluid, often a universal tractor fluid (UTF) or dedicated hydraulic oil. The manual would provide specific part numbers or compatible types.
Transmission And Differential Fluid:
Typically a high-quality gear oil, such as SAE 80W-90 or SAE 90, would be specified for the transmission and differential.
Common Wear Items:
As a vintage tractor, common wear items include clutch components, hydraulic pumps, seals, and wearable engine parts. The catalog is vital for identifying these specific replacement parts.
