|
Assembly Order Diagrams:
|
Crucial for understanding how components fit together during repair or replacement, particularly for complex assemblies like the transmission or rear axle.
|
Part Number Lookup:
|
Primary function is to provide exact part numbers for ordering replacements from dealers or aftermarket suppliers.
|
Fastener Identification:
|
Details on bolt sizes, thread types, and washer specifications used throughout the tractor's assembly.
|
Technical Depth
|
Technical Depth:
|
Detailed exploded view diagrams for component identification and assembly order. Focuses on correct part selection for maintenance and repair.
|
Component Breakdown:
|
Highly detailed exploded views of each major system, showing every individual part and its relationship to others.
|
Interchangeability Notes:
|
Sometimes parts manuals include notes on interchangeable parts or superseded part numbers.
|
Engine Specifications
|
Primary Engine
|
Engine Type:
|
Likely a gasoline or diesel engine, common for tractors of this era. Specific displacement, bore, stroke, and cylinder count would be detailed within the manual's engine section.
|
Engine Configuration:
|
Likely inline 2- or 3-cylinder for gasoline, or potentially a 2-cylinder diesel. Engine identification by serial number would be key.
|
Performance
|
Horsepower Range:
|
Typical for utility tractors of the late 1960s, likely in the 15-30 HP range, depending on the specific model variant (723 vs. 770).
|
Torque Specifications:
|
Torque values for critical engine fasteners (head bolts, main bearings, connecting rods) would be detailed in a service manual, but this parts manual helps identify the bolts themselves.
|
Fuel System
|
Fuel System Type:
|
Likely a carburetor-based fuel system for gasoline engines, and a diesel injection system for diesel variants. Manual would detail fuel pumps, filters, and carburetors/injectors.
|
Dimensions
|
Exterior
|
Wheelbase:
|
Specific to Gilson models 723 and 770, would be provided in detailed diagrams. Typical wheelbase for this class of tractor is in the range of 60-75 inches.
|
Track Width:
|
Front and rear track widths would be specified, allowing for adjustments for different row crops or terrain. This information is typically in diagrams.
|
Cargo
|
Rear Hitch Capacity:
|
The manual would detail parts for the 3-point hitch or other implement attachment systems, implying a lifting capacity relevant to its class.
|
Weights
|
Operating Weight:
|
Likely in the range of 1500-2500 lbs, with specific weight distribution for front and rear axles detailed in technical diagrams within the manual.
|
Interior
|
Operator Station:
|
Details on the steering column, seat mounting, pedal placement, and control lever positions would be depicted in diagrams.
|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Service Intervals:
|
Detailed service intervals for engine oil changes, filter replacements (oil, fuel, air), transmission fluid changes, and lubrication points would be found in a comprehensive service manual, but this parts manual helps identify the components for those services.
|
Lubrication Points:
|
The manual would identify all grease fittings and oil ports on various components like steering, front axle, PTO, and hitch linkages.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil Type:
|
Likely SAE 30 or 10W-30 engine oil for gasoline engines, and heavier viscosity oils for diesel. Transmission and hydraulic fluid specifications would be specific to Gilson's recommendations for the era.
|
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
|
Commonly a Type 'F' or 'Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid (UTTF)' would be specified. Specific Gilson part numbers for fluids would be ideal if available.
|
Known Issues
|
Common Issues:
|
Typical for tractors of this age: wear on clutch components, seal leaks (engine, transmission, hydraulics), carburetor issues (gumming, wear), electrical system corrosion, and PTO shaft wear. The manual is crucial for identifying and replacing these parts.
|
Carburetor Troubleshooting Parts:
|
Rebuild kits, jets, float needles, and gaskets for carburetors would be listed, crucial for addressing fuel delivery issues.
