Engine Make Model:
Specific engine details for I-40 and I-400 are not provided in the product description but would typically be a proprietary Allis-Chalmers or a rebadged industrial engine (e.g., Waukesha, Continental) common in this era. Further research or a service manual would be needed for precise engine specifications.
Horsepower Range:
Tractor models I-40 and I-400 generally fall into the utility tractor class. Specific horsepower figures are not detailed in the product description but would typically be in the 40-60 HP range, depending on the exact engine fitted.
Torque Range:
Not specified in product description. Dependent on exact engine fitted.
Fuel Type:
Diesel or Gasoline (depending on specific tractor configuration and engine option for the I-40/I-400 series).
Transmission Type:
Likely a manual gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears. PTO (Power Take-Off) and potentially a creeper gear option might be present depending on the specific model variant.
Optional Features:
Not specified, but typical options in this era could include live PTO, different rear axle ratios, or specialized transmissions for specific industrial applications.
Clutch Type:
Likely a single or dual-stage dry clutch.
Overall Length:
Not specified in product description. Typical for utility tractors of this era would be in the range of 10-12 feet.
Overall Width:
Not specified in product description. Varies with tire size and configuration.
Wheelbase:
Not specified in product description.
Operating Weight:
Not specified in product description. Typical for this class would be 4,000-6,000 lbs.
Safety Standards:
Tractors of this era were not subject to the stringent modern safety ratings. This manual would not contain safety ratings but would illustrate safety-critical components for proper maintenance.
Operator Controls:
Brakes, steering, clutch, throttle, PTO engagement levers are the primary active safety features managed by the operator.
Tractor Structure:
This manual would cover parts for the basic tractor structure, fenders, and operator platform. Features like Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS) or seat belts were often aftermarket or not standard in the production era of these models.
Recommended Service:
This parts catalog does not provide service intervals. A separate service or operator's manual is required for detailed maintenance schedules (e.g., oil changes, filter replacements, lubrication points).
Engine Oil Type:
Not specified in the product description. Historically, SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 multi-grade oils were common for gasoline and diesel engines of this era, but specific OEM recommendations are crucial.
Coolant Type:
Not specified in the product description. Typically a mixture of antifreeze and water (e.g., 50/50 mix) would be used for frost and corrosion protection.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Not specified in the product description. Could be a dedicated tractor hydraulic fluid (e.g., UTTO) or a specific gear oil depending on the transmission and hydraulic system integration.
Common Wear Parts:
As an IPC, it identifies parts but not common issues. However, typical wear items on tractors of this age include clutch plates, brake linings, hydraulic seals, engine gaskets, bearings, and PTO components.
Typical Repairs:
This manual aids in identifying parts needed for common repairs like engine overhaul, transmission rebuild, hydraulic system servicing, and front-end repair.
Manufacturer History:
Allis-Chalmers was a prominent American manufacturer of farm and construction machinery, known for innovation and distinctive orange paint schemes. The company has a long history dating back to the late 19th century.
I Series Context:
The I-series tractors (like the I-40 and I-400) were part of Allis-Chalmers' line of utility and industrial tractors, designed for versatility in farm and non-farm applications.
Production Period:
The I-40 and I-400 models were likely produced in the 1950s and 1960s, a period of significant development in agricultural mechanization.
Manufacturing Location:
Primarily manufactured in the United States by Allis-Chalmers.
