Engine Type:
Likely BMC (British Motor Corporation) Diesel engines, various configurations depending on specific model variant (e.g., 3-cylinder, 4-cylinder).
Displacement:
Varies by model. Common Nuffield engines included displacements around 2.5L for 3-cylinder and 3.4L or 3.8L for 4-cylinder variants.
Horsepower:
Typically in the range of 30-55 HP depending on the specific model and engine configuration.
Torque:
Specifications available within the manual, crucial for engine tuning and repair.
Injection System:
Likely CAV (later Lucas CAV) or Simms injection pumps. Manual will detail timing, servicing, and overhaul of these units.
Carburetor:
Not applicable for diesel models, but if petrol variants exist (less common for these models), carburetor details would be included.
Gearbox Type:
Constant mesh, sliding gear transmission with multiple forward and reverse gears.
Pto Options:
Standard PTO (540 RPM typically), potentially ground speed PTO on some models. Manual will cover servicing and clutch adjustments.
Clutch Type:
Single dry plate clutch, likely with a heavy-duty diaphragm spring design.
Gear Ratios:
Detailed gear ratios for all forward and reverse gears will be present in the manual.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-150 operating hours. Manual will specify exact interval and oil grade.
Transmission Oil Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours. Manual will specify fluid type and capacity.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours. Manual will specify fluid type and capacity.
Engine Oil:
Likely API CD/CE or similar heavy-duty diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 or 20W-50 depending on ambient temperature. Manual will provide exact API rating and viscosity.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Typically a multi-purpose tractor fluid (e.g., UTF/UTTO) or a specific gear oil. Manual will specify grade and viscosity (e.g., SAE 80W-90 for gearbox, specific hydraulic fluid spec).
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze coolant. Manual will specify mixture ratio and type.
Common Wear Points:
Clutch wear, PTO clutch pack, hydraulic pump wear, injector pump seals, radiator leaks, and general wear on linkage components are common across this era of tractors.
Electrical Challenges:
Aging wiring harnesses and Lucas electrical components can be prone to issues. Manual provides wiring diagrams for diagnosis.
