Engine Manufacturer:
Case IH (likely sourced or built by Case IH)
Engine Model Example:
Likely a Case IH 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine (e.g., AD series engine family).
Displacement:
Typically around 2.5 - 3.0 Liters (for tractors of this era and class, specific to 1194 variants)
Horsepower Range:
Approx. 50-60 HP (may vary by specific engine configuration or market)
Injection System:
Typically indirect injection (IDI) or direct injection (DI) via injection pump and injectors.
Fuel Filter:
Procedures for replacing the primary and secondary fuel filters.
Gearbox Type:
Likely a fully synchronized manual gearbox with multiple forward and reverse speeds. May include options like a creeper gear or shuttle shift.
Transmission Options:
Possible option for a high-low range selector (e.g., Powershift or torque amplifier equivalent) for increased gear selection.
Power Take Off Options:
Variations in PTO speed (e.g., 540/1000 RPM) or ground speed PTO depending on the specific model configuration.
Pto:
Standard PTO (Power Take-Off) capabilities, typically 540 RPM, possibly 1000 RPM, or ground speed PTO.
Rear Axle Differential:
Differential lock for improved traction in slippery conditions.
Dimensions Note:
Specific dimensions (length, width, height) would vary slightly with tire size and specific configuration, but typical for a utility tractor of this class.
Operating Weight Approx:
Approx. 4,000 - 5,000 lbs (1,800 - 2,300 kg) depending on options and configuration.
Axle Load Ratings:
Specifications for front and rear axle load capacities are typically included for safe operation and transport.
Safety Features Note:
As a tractor, safety features focus on operational stability, braking efficiency, ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) compatibility (often an option or aftermarket addition), and operator visibility.
Braking System:
Hydraulically operated wet disc brakes for reliability and effective stopping power.
Operator Seat:
Design of the operator seat and control layout to facilitate safe operation.
Infotainment Features:
Basic instrumentation for engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and warning lights. No advanced infotainment systems.
Driver Assistance Features:
No electronic driver assistance systems. Functionality relies on mechanical controls and operator skill.
Connectivity Options:
No modern connectivity features. Mechanical PTO and hydraulic couplings are the primary interfaces for implements.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 250 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact specification).
Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:
Typically every 1000-1500 hours, or as specified by Case IH maintenance schedules.
Engine Oil Specification:
API CD or CE classification, SAE 15W-40 or 30W is common for diesel engines of this era (refer to manual for exact grade).
Hydraulic Fluid Specification:
Case IH TUrbo-Universal Tractor Transmission Oil (TUF), or equivalent UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) meeting specified viscosity and performance standards (e.g., ISO VG 46, John Deere J20C).
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water, meeting diesel engine requirements.
Transmission Gear Oil:
If a separate transmission oil is used, specifications would be provided; however, many utility tractors share transmission and hydraulic fluid.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump wear, injector pump issues, PTO clutch packs, and general seal degradation are common wear items on tractors of this age.
Engine Starting:
Glow plug system troubleshooting, starter motor issues, and fuel system bleeding are common areas for starting problems.
Electrical Faults:
Corrosion in connectors, faulty wiring harnesses, and starter/alternator issues can occur due to age and environmental exposure.
Heritage:
Case IH has a long and distinguished history in agricultural machinery, known for innovation and robust tractor designs.
Brand Focus:
Case IH is a major manufacturer of agricultural, construction, and material handling equipment, with a strong emphasis on tractor technology and durability.
Series Context:
