Engine Family:
Likely Case IH's own F series, CX series, or similar diesel engines, depending on the tractor's production era. Specific engine details (e.g., displacement, cylinder count) are not provided in the product information and would be found within the manual itself.
Horsepower:
Specific horsepower not provided. Case IH 265 tractors would have varied horsepower ratings based on engine configuration and model year. Consult the manual for exact specifications.
Torque:
Specific torque not provided. Consult the manual for exact specifications.
Cooling System:
Typically liquid-cooled; details on radiator, coolant capacity, and thermostat specifications would be in the manual.
Lubrication System:
Wet sump system; details on oil capacity, oil type specifications (e.g., API classification, SAE viscosity), and oil filter part numbers would be detailed.
Transmission Type:
Likely a partially synchronized or powershift transmission. Specific types (e.g., 8-speed, 16-speed, shuttle shift) would be model-dependent and detailed in the manual.
Optional Transmission:
Could include creep speeds, specific PTO transmission options, or variations in powershift configurations.
Clutch:
Dual-stage or single-stage clutch operation; details on adjustment and replacement procedures.
Fluid Type:
Hy-Tran or equivalent tractor hydraulic/transmission fluid; specific CASE IH part numbers and specifications are critical and detailed in the manual.
Overall Length:
Varies by specific 265 model configuration (e.g., 2WD vs. 4WD, cab vs. open station). Consult the manual for precise dimensions.
Overall Width:
Varies by specific 265 model configuration. Consult the manual for precise dimensions.
Operating Weight:
Varies by configuration. Consult the manual for precise weight and ballast recommendations.
Wheelbase:
Varies by specific 265 model configuration. Consult the manual for precise dimensions.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) is standard on modern tractors; details on installation, maintenance, and safety procedures for ROPS will be in the manual.
Braking System:
Hydraulically actuated wet disc brakes; manual covers adjustment, inspection, and replacement.
Seatbelts:
Standard with ROPS; manual covers inspection and replacement if applicable.
Safety Warnings:
Manual will include extensive safety warnings and precautions for all operations and maintenance.
Instrumentation:
Basic dashboard with indicators for engine status, fuel level, temperature, oil pressure. Advanced models might feature digital displays. Detailed diagnostic codes and gauge interpretation are in the manual.
Pto Engagement:
Mechanical or electro-hydraulic engagement for PTO, with specific safety interlocks detailed in the manual.
Diagnostic Ports:
Onboard diagnostic (OBD) ports and specific Case IH diagnostic connectors (e.g., for electronic diagnostic tools) would be identified in the manual.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically 250 hours or annually, but consult the manual for the exact interval based on operating conditions.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically 1000-2000 hours or every 2-3 years, but verify with the manual.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Generally at 250-500 hour intervals or as recommended for optimal performance and to prevent fuel system damage.
Engine Oil Spec:
Typically CASE IH MS-1210, MS-1207, or equivalent diesel engine oil (e.g., API CK-4 or CJ-4). SAE viscosity grade will depend on ambient temperature (e.g., 15W-40 is common).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Spec:
CASE IH Hy-Tran™ UT or equivalent fluid meeting specification MS-1230. Crucial for transmission, hydraulic, and wet brake operation.
Coolant Spec:
Typically a 50/50 mix of a heavy-duty, silicate-free antifreeze/coolant and deionized water. CASE IH specification (e.g., akaline-based) should be confirmed in the manual.
Common Problems:
Potential issues across tractor models can include hydraulic pump wear, electrical connector corrosion, transmission shifting issues, and diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogging (on newer models). The manual is essential for diagnosing and addressing these.
Manufacturer:
Case IH (formerly Case Corporation, now part of CNH Industrial)
Series:
The '265' designation likely falls within a specific utility or row-crop tractor series from Case IH. This series would have evolved from earlier models and may have been succeeded by newer technologies.
