Engine Manufacturer:
Fiat
Engine Model:
Likely a Fiat-built diesel engine (specific model number not provided in product info, e.g., 8045 series variations possible)
Cylinders:
Likely 4-cylinder configuration (common for this class)
Displacement:
Exact displacement requires specific model variant research, but typically in the 3.5-4.5 liter range for this era of tractor.
Horsepower Range:
Estimated 60-70 PTO horsepower, depending on specific engine tune and model variant.
Torque Peak:
Torque figures would vary by engine tune, but typically in the range of 250-300 Nm.
Fuel Injection:
Indirect injection (IDI) or Direct Injection (DI) likely, utilizing a mechanical injection pump (e.g., Bosch).
Transmission Type Standard:
Manual Synchromesh gearbox, likely with multiple forward and reverse gears (e.g., 8/4 or similar configurations).
Transmission Type Optional:
Powershift or synchronized shuttle options may have been available on certain configurations.
Clutch:
Dry single or dual-stage clutch for PTO engagement.
Pto Speed:
Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540 RPM, 1000 RPM).
Gear Ratios:
Specific gear ratios detailed within the manual for performance optimization and repair.
Wheelbase:
Typical for tractors of this size, around 2100-2200 mm.
Length:
Typically around 3600-3800 mm without front linkage.
Width:
Around 1700-1800 mm at the rear axle.
Height:
Approx. 2400-2500 mm to the top of the cab/exhaust stack.
Operating Weight:
Approximately 2500-3000 kg, depending on configuration (e.g., cab, 2WD/4WD).
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 250-300 operating hours, or annually. Refer to manual for exact specification.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 500 operating hours or annually, depending on fuel quality. Refer to manual for exact specification.
Air Filter Service:
Check and clean/replace as needed, typically based on operating conditions (e.g., dusty environments require more frequent checks).
Engine Oil Specification:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 is common. Consult manual for precise viscosity and specification.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Typically a universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) or a dedicated hydraulic fluid meeting Fiat specifications. Fluid capacity will be detailed in the manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixed with distilled water (50/50 ratio) for freeze and corrosion protection.
Brake Fluid Type:
If hydraulic brakes are present, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Consult manual for exact specification.
Common Wear Items:
Typical wear items include clutch plates, brake components, hydraulic pump seals, and front axle components (on DT models). Electrical connections can also be a point of concern on older machinery.
Engine Potential Issues:
Overheating due to cooling system issues, injector pump problems, or carbon buildup in combustion chambers.
