Detailed steps for routine maintenance tasks such as lubrication, filter changes, and fluid checks.
Troubleshooting Guidance:
Basic troubleshooting tips for common operational problems, often presented in a symptom-cause-solution format.
Depth:
Covers operational guidance, routine maintenance, safety procedures, and basic troubleshooting. It is an operator's manual, not a full service or repair manual, therefore it will not typically include detailed component disassembly, overhaul procedures, or advanced diagnostic information.
Configuration:
Likely inline 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder diesel engines (specifics vary by exact 1175 variant and year).
Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled (typically water-based coolant).
Horsepower:
Varies significantly based on specific engine and configuration; generally in the 70-100 HP range for models of this type.
Torque:
Specific torque figures are model-dependent but designed for substantial pulling power.
Injection System:
Likely direct injection, either mechanical or early electronic control depending on the exact model year.
Type:
Multiple transmission options were common, potentially including a 16-speed synchronized gear transmission or an 8-speed transmission with a 2-speed powershift (e.g., 16F x 8R or 12F x 4R variations).
Powershift:
Optional powershift capabilities may have been available on certain configurations for on-the-go shifting.
Pto:
Standard 540 RPM and potentially 1000 RPM Power Take-Off (PTO) capabilities.
Clutch:
Typically a dual-stage clutch for PTO engagement independent of transmission movement.
Wheelbase:
Varies by specific 2WD/4WD configuration and tire size, but typically in the range of 90-100 inches.
Overall Length:
Approximate length of 150-170 inches, excluding implements.
Overall Width:
Varies with tire size, typically around 70-80 inches.
Operating Weight:
Typically around 8,000-10,000 lbs, depending on configuration and features.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours, or annually, depending on operating conditions and oil type used.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
As recommended, often tied to operating hours or when performance degradation is noted.
Hydraulic Filter Replacement:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours, or upon fluid change.
Engine Oil:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 is common (refer to manual for specific viscosity and API rating).
Hydraulic Fluid:
Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (THF) or equivalent; specific Case IH fluid type (e.g., Hy-Tran) is often recommended. Capacity varies, usually 10-15 gallons.
Transmission Fluid:
Often shared with the hydraulic system if using THF. Otherwise, specific gear oil or transmission fluid as per manual.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixture (typically 50/50 with distilled water) for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition.
Common Wear Items:
Hydraulic pump seals, clutch wear, PTO clutch packs, and basic electrical component failures are common wear items on tractors of this age.
Maintenance Challenges:
Ensuring proper hydraulic fluid cleanliness and timely filter changes is critical to prevent hydraulic system damage. Electrical connections can be prone to corrosion in agricultural environments.
Parent Company:
Case IH is a brand of CNH Industrial, with roots tracing back to J.I. Case Company and International Harvester.
Positioning:
The 1175 likely falls within a series of utility or row-crop tractors produced by Case IH during the late 20th century, representing an evolution in design and technology from earlier models.
Production Years:
Specific production years are not provided, but models of this numerical designation were common in the 1980s and early 1990s.
