Configuration:

Typically a 3 or 4-cylinder diesel engine.

Displacement:

Commonly in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 liters, exact displacement depends on specific JX70 variant.

Gross Horsepower:

Rated at approximately 70 HP (net horsepower will be slightly lower).

Torque:

Specific torque figures would need to be confirmed for the particular engine variant, but typically in the range of 200-250 Nm.

Injection Type:

Likely mechanical or electronic direct injection, depending on the specific engine and emission standards of the model year.

Fuel Type:

Diesel Fuel

Coolant Type:

Ethylene Glycol based coolant (e.g., 50/50 mix with distilled water). Refer to manual for specific Case IH approved coolant.

🔧 Transmission

Type:

Mechanical Synchromesh Transmission (MST) or a powershuttle transmission.

Gears:

Typically offered with 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds (12F/12R) with a synchromesh gearbox.

Type:

Powershuttle transmission option available on some models for forward/reverse changes without clutching.

Pto Speeds:

Standard PTO speeds typically include 540 RPM and 540 Economy (ECO) PTO, with a 1000 RPM option on some configurations.

Transmission Fluid:

Requires dedicated tractor transmission and hydraulic fluid (e.g., Case IH Hy-Tran® UT or equivalent). Consult manual for specific part number and type.

📐 Dimensions
