Part number highly dependent on specific engine. Manual will list OE and equivalent filter numbers.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Specific to engine model, typically in the 10-15 quart range. Manual will provide exact figure and filter part number.
Transmission Type:
Likely a manual shuttle transmission or a synchronized gear transmission. Options might include a powershift or creeper gear.
Powershift Availability:
Potential option depending on specific configuration and year.
Pto Options:
Likely 540/1000 RPM PTO, possibly live PTO (independent engagement).
Gear Selection Method:
Gear levers, potentially with a range selector and speed selector.
