Engine Model:
Likely a variant of the Case/Cummins/David Brown engine line common in this era. Specific model number (e.g., 3.152, 4.236) would be detailed in the manual.
Horsepower:
Typically in the 40-50 HP range for the 1390, but specific variants exist. Manual will confirm exact ratings.
Torque:
Detailed torque figures for critical engine components will be provided in the manual.
Injection System:
Likely rotary or inline injection pump system. Manual will detail specific pump and injector overhaul.
Coolant Capacity:
Capacity and type of coolant will be specified. Typical for this era might be a 50/50 ethylene glycol/water mix.
Transmission Type:
Likely a 8-speed or 12-speed manual gearbox (e.g., constant mesh or sliding gear). Specific configuration will be detailed.

Likely a SAE 15W-40 API CG-4 or CH-4 rated diesel engine oil. Manual will confirm specific viscosity and API service category.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid (UTF) or specific Case IH hydraulic fluid (e.g., TCH Fluid). Manual will specify exact part numbers and specifications.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition.
Common Wear Points:
Potential wear on PTO splines, hydraulic pump seals, clutch components, and front axle kingpins. Manual will guide on inspection and repair of these.
Electrical Reliability:
Older wiring harnesses can degrade. Manual's wiring diagrams are crucial for diagnosing electrical gremlins.
