Engine Model Code:
Likely Case IH XYZ Series Diesel Engine (Specific model code not provided in product info, but typical for the era).
Engine Description:
The Case IH 5130 is powered by a robust diesel engine designed for agricultural applications, emphasizing reliability and torque for pulling heavy loads.
Engine Displacement:
Typically in the range of 4.0L - 5.9L for this series of tractors, depending on specific configuration. (Exact displacement requires specific model year research.)
Horsepower Rating:
Variable based on specific engine and transmission configuration, but common ranges for the 5130 series are 70-90 PTO horsepower. (Exact HP requires specific model year research.)
Engine Configuration:
Typically an inline 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder turbocharged or naturally aspirated diesel engine.
Fuel System Type:
Direct Injection Diesel (Commonly utilizing rotary or inline injection pumps).
Injection System:
Mechanical injection system, known for its durability and ease of service in the field.
Transmission Type:
Likely a fully synchronized transmission, potentially with powershift or creeper gear options. (Specifics depend on variant.)
Gear Count:
Commonly offered with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, or higher configurations with powershift options.
Optional Transmission:
Powershift (e.g., 16x16 or 18x6) or creeper gear options may be available depending on the specific 5130 configuration.
Transmission Features:
Synchronized shifting, power take-off (PTO) engagement, potentially a differential lock.
Clutch Type:
Typically a dry, single-stage or dual-stage clutch for PTO engagement and main transmission operation.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 250 hours or annually, whichever comes first. (Refer to manual for precise intervals based on operating conditions.)
Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:
Often around 1000 hours or annually, depending on usage and fluid condition. (Refer to manual for precise intervals.)
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at regular intervals, often coinciding with oil changes or at specific hour marks. (Refer to manual for precise intervals.)
Engine Oil Specification:
API GL-4 SAE 15W-40 or SAE 10W-30 Diesel Engine Oil (Check manual for exact OEM specification).
