Engine Type:
Likely a diesel engine, common for tractors of this era and class. Specific engine family (e.g., Perkins, Allis-Chalmers own) would need manual verification.
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 70-90 HP range for a tractor of this model designation, but requires manual confirmation.
Torque Specifications:
Detailed torque settings for cylinder heads, manifold bolts, and other critical engine components will be included.
Fuel Type:
Diesel Fuel (standard for this class of tractor).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically 250 hours or annually, depending on operating conditions. Manual will specify.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Often recommended every 250-500 operating hours or annually. Manual will provide specific interval.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 1000-2000 operating hours or as condition dictates. Manual will specify frequency and filter replacement.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 depending on climate. Manual will confirm exact specification.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Tractor Hydraulic Fluid (THF) or a compatible UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil). Manual will list specific Allis-Chalmers approved fluids.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Likely requires the same THF/UTF as the hydraulic system. Manual confirmation is essential.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze mixture with a 50/50 ratio for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition. Manual will provide exact mix and capacity.
Common Wear Items:
Potential issues might include wear on clutch components, hydraulic pump efficiency, and certain electrical connections due to age. Manual will address common failure points and their solutions.
Engine Reliability:
Allis-Chalmers engines of this era were generally robust, but maintenance of the fuel system and cooling system is critical.
