Engine Manufacturer:
Allis-Chalmers
Engine Model:
Likely an Allis-Chalmers manufactured engine, specific model designation would be in the manual (e.g., 11000 series or similar).
Displacement:
Information specific to Series II engine required from manual. D-21 typically had engines around 300+ cubic inches.
Horsepower:
Refer to manual for exact PTO horsepower and drawbar horsepower for Series II.
Torque:
Refer to manual for specific torque figures.
Injection System:
Likely a direct injection system, specific manufacturer and model (e.g., Roosa Master, Bosch) would be detailed in the manual.
Engine Oil Change:
Refer to manual for specific interval (e.g., every 100-250 operating hours). Manual will specify oil type and capacity.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Refer to manual for specific interval and recommended fluid type (e.g., John Deere Hy-Gard, CAT TO-4 fluid equivalent).
Transmission Fluid Change:
Refer to manual for specific interval and recommended fluid type (e.g., Gear Oil GL-4/GL-5).
Engine Oil:
Manual will specify SAE viscosity grade (e.g., 30W, 15W-40) and API service classification (e.g., CD or equivalent for diesel engines of that era).
Hydraulic Fluid:
Manual will specify hydraulic fluid type and viscosity. Likely a UTF (Universal Tractor Fluid) or specific hydraulic oil.
Coolant:
Manual will specify coolant type (e.g., ethylene glycol based) and mixture ratio (e.g., 50/50 with distilled water).
Common Problems:
Potential issues may include hydraulic pump wear, clutch engagement problems, or electrical system aging, all of which the manual would detail diagnostic and repair procedures for.
