Engine Type:
Diesel (Specific engine model not provided in product info, but typical for Case IH tractors of this era)
Horsepower:
N/A (Specific horsepower figures require model year and engine variant identification, but expected to be in the 45-60 HP range for similar models).
Torque:
N/A (Specific torque figures require model year and engine variant identification).
Injection System:
Typically direct injection or indirect injection, depending on specific engine variant.
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled (Radiator, coolant, fan)
Transmission Type:
Likely a manual transmission, possibly with multiple speed ranges (e.g., 8-speed forward, 4-speed reverse, or similar configurations).
Optional Transmission:
Not specified in product information, but some models may have offered creeper gears or alternative PTO options.
Pto:
Standard PTO (Power Take-Off) operations covered, likely 540 RPM or 540/1000 RPM.
Overall Length:
N/A (Specific dimensions require model year and configuration, but typical for compact utility tractors).
Operating Weight:
N/A (Specific weight depends on configuration, typically in the 3,500 - 5,000 lbs range for similar tractors).
Operator Safety:
Manual will cover safety precautions, operational safety, and maintenance safety.
Braking System:
Information on brake operation, maintenance, and adjustment (likely mechanical drum or disc brakes).
Roll Over Protection:
While not explicitly stated, manuals often include information related to ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structures) if equipped, or safety considerations for operating without them.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours, or annually. Specific interval detailed in manual.
Air Filter Service:
Service at regular intervals or as indicated by air cleaner restriction indicator. Specific intervals detailed in manual.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended replacement every 250-500 operating hours or annually. Specific interval detailed in manual.
Engine Oil Type:
CD or CE-grade diesel engine oil (e.g., SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate). Specific grade and capacity detailed in manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Case IH Tuf-Treat® Hy-Trans® UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or equivalent. Specific type and capacity detailed in manual.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Likely the same as hydraulic fluid (UTTO). Specific type and capacity detailed in manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with a suitable rust inhibitor, mixed with distilled water. Specific mix ratio and capacity detailed in manual.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, PTO spline wear, hydraulic seal leaks, alternator or starter issues are common for tractors of this age and usage.
Electrical Issues:
Corrosion in wiring harnesses, switch failures, and battery terminal issues can occur.
Manufacturer:
Case IH, a long-standing manufacturer of agricultural equipment with a rich history in tractor production.
Production Era:
The 245 model designation suggests it falls within a specific series of Case IH compact or utility tractors, likely produced from the late 1970s through the 1980s, succeeding earlier models and potentially preceding newer series.
Manufacturing Location:
Case IH tractors are historically manufactured in North America and Europe. Specific location for the 245 model would require further research.
