Standard 540/1000 RPM PTO, often with independent PTO engagement
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) available or standard on later models, essential for safe operation
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brakes, often wet disc brakes for durability
Seatbelt:
Seatbelt presence depends on ROPS installation
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250 hours or annually, depending on operating conditions
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at 250-500 hour intervals or as needed
Air Filter Service:
Service or replace based on air cleaner restriction indicator or at 250-hour intervals
Engine Oil:
Typically API CD/CE rated diesel engine oil, viscosity grade 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature. Capacity around 18-20 quarts.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
IH Hy-Tran or equivalent universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTF). Capacity can be substantial, often over 50 quarts.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (50/50 mix with distilled water) for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition.
Engine Wear:
Common for older DT-466 engines to experience cylinder liner wear, piston ring issues, or injector pump problems if not properly maintained.
Powershift Transmission:
Potential for wear in clutch packs or hydraulic control issues if fluid and filter maintenance is neglected.
Electrical System:
Wiring harness degradation, starter solenoid failures, and alternator issues can occur with age and exposure.
Hydraulics:
Leaking hydraulic cylinders, pump wear, or control valve issues can develop over time.
