⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Family:

Likely Case 504 series diesel engines (e.g., 504DT-380, 504DT-401) or similar Cummins engines depending on specific regional configurations and options. Exact engine displacement and series vary by model (1270, 1370, 1570).

Horsepower Range:

Estimated range: 1270 model ~120-130 PTO HP, 1370 model ~130-140 PTO HP, 1570 model ~150-160 PTO HP. Exact figures depend on engine variant and tuning.

Torque Characteristics:

Diesel engines optimized for high torque at low RPMs, providing ample pulling power for agricultural applications. Specific torque figures depend on engine configuration.

Injection Type:

Typically direct injection, possibly with rotary or inline injection pumps (e.g., Bosch or CAV).

Fuel Type:

Diesel Fuel

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Likely a partially synchronized manual transmission with multiple gear ranges (e.g., 12 forward, 4 reverse or similar configurations), possibly with a power shift option or a torque amplifier (TA) system.

Powershift:

Higher horsepower models or specific configurations may have offered a powershift transmission option for on-the-go gear changes.

Torque Amplifier:

Many tractors of this era featured a 'Torque Amplifier' (TA) or similar system that provided a lower speed range with increased torque without clutching, effectively doubling the number of gears.

📐 Dimensions

Overall Length:

Varies by model, typically around 170-190 inches (430-480 cm) without implements.

Overall Width:

Varies by model and tire size, typically around 75-90 inches (190-230 cm).

Operating Weight:

Typically in the range of 10,000 - 14,000 lbs (4,500 - 6,350 kg) depending on configuration and options.

🛡️ Safety Features

Rollover Protection:

While ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) may have been an option or standard on later models, earlier versions might not have featured it as standard equipment. Manual covers relevant safety features and operator safety guidelines.

Brakes:

Hydraulic disc brakes, typically internal wet disc brakes on rear axles for durability and effective stopping power.

Operator Station:

Designed with operator comfort and safety in mind, featuring control placement, visibility, and ergonomics. Manual details operation of safety-critical controls.

📚 Vehicle History

Manufacturer:

David Brown Tractors was a British manufacturer, later acquired by J.I. Case (which then became part of Case IH). These models represent the integration of David Brown engineering with Case's North American market presence.

Product Line:

These tractors were part of a series of larger-frame, high-horsepower tractors produced in the 1970s, designed for heavy-duty farm work. They succeeded earlier David Brown models and were built to compete in the growing agricultural machinery market.

Production Era:

Likely produced in the mid to late 1970s, based on the model numbers and typical Case product cycles of that era.
