Engine Type:
Likely a Steyr-designed diesel engine. Specific displacement, bore/stroke, and configuration would require further manual detail. Common for this era of tractors would be naturally aspirated or potentially turbocharged 3 or 4-cylinder diesel engines.
Horsepower Range:
Estimated 50-70 HP range for models designated '8055' and similar in the Steyr lineup of that era. Precise figures require specific model year and engine variant identification.
Injection Type:
Likely a direct injection diesel fuel system, possibly with Bosch or similar injection pumps. Specific model details would be in the catalog.
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled.
Oil Type Recommendation:
Requires specific API CD/CE or MIL-L-2104C/D rated diesel engine oil. Exact viscosity (e.g., SAE 15W-40) and capacity detailed in the manual.
Gearbox Type:
Likely a manual gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears. Some models may feature synchronized shifting for ease of use. The 'A' in 8055A might denote a specific feature like All-Wheel Drive, but the primary transmission is likely a robust manual unit.
Pto Options:
May include various PTO speeds (e.g., 540/1000 RPM) for powering implements. Some tractors of this class might have offered creeper gears or other specialized transmission options.
Clutch Type:
Typically a dry single-plate or dual-plate clutch for tractors of this size and era.
Overall Length:
Specific dimensions not provided, but typically in the range of 3.5-4.5 meters for this tractor class.
Operating Weight:
Estimated 2500-3500 kg, depending on configuration (2WD/4WD, cab/open station).
Tire Size Front:
Commonly 7.50-16 or similar agricultural front tire sizes.
Tire Size Rear:
Commonly 14.9-28 or 16.9-30 agricultural rear tire sizes.
Rollover Protection:
FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) and ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) may be available or standard depending on the specific build date and market. The manual would identify parts related to these structures.
Brake System:
Hydraulically actuated brakes, typically drum brakes on early models or disc brakes on later iterations, on rear wheels and potentially front wheels for 4WD variants.
Operator Station Safety:
Seat belt, accessible controls, adequate lighting.
Dashboard Features:
Basic analog gauges for engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and battery voltage. Warning lights for critical functions.
Transmission Assist:
Synchromesh on some gear ranges for smoother shifting. Power steering is common on 'A' variants.
Implement Hookups:
Standard 3-point hitch (Category II) and PTO drive shafts for various agricultural implements. Hydraulic remotes for auxiliary functions.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Specific interval detailed in the manual based on operating conditions.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Generally recommended every 500-1000 operating hours or annually. Includes filter replacement.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended at 500 operating hours or as needed based on fuel quality and usage.
Engine Oil Spec:
API CD/CE or MIL-L-2104C/D, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate.
Hydraulic Fluid Spec:
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid (HTF) or Universal Tractor Transmission Oil (UTTO) meeting Steyr specifications. Often IH B6 specification or equivalent.
Coolant Spec:
Ethylene glycol based coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Specific additive package may be required.
Common Wear Parts:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump seals, alternator brushes, starter motor components, brake linings/pads, and various linkage wear points are common maintenance items for tractors of this age and type.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion in connectors, aging wiring, and failing switches can lead to intermittent electrical issues. The manual's diagrams are invaluable for troubleshooting.
Steyr Automotive:
Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG was a renowned Austrian manufacturer of agricultural machinery, trucks, buses, and vehicles. Known for robust engineering and quality construction.
8000 Series:
The 8000 series was a significant line of tractors for Steyr, often featuring contemporary engine technology and transmission options. The 8055 would have been part of this evolution, likely produced in the late 1970s to mid-1980s.
Manufacturing Location:
Austria (Steyr factory).
