Quality And Detail:
Includes diagrams, illustrations, and wiring schematics to facilitate understanding and repair.
Engine Type:
Likely a Diesel engine for the 1210 model, given the explicit mention of a 'Diesel Fuel System.' May have had gasoline variants in certain markets or earlier production runs, but diesel is the most probable primary engine for this model designation.
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 50-70 HP range for tractors of this era and class. Specific figures would be detailed within the manual.
Diesel Injection:
Detailed procedures for diesel fuel injection pumps, injectors, fuel filters, and bleeding the fuel system.
Gasoline Carburetor:
Specific instructions for the maintenance, adjustment, and overhaul of gasoline carburetors, including jetting and float levels.
Routine Maintenance:
The manual will specify recommended intervals for engine oil changes, filter replacements (oil, fuel, air), hydraulic fluid checks and changes, and lubrication points (grease nipples).
Engine Oil:
Specific SAE viscosity grades and API service classifications for engine oil will be provided, crucial for proper lubrication and engine longevity.
Hydraulic Fluid:
Recommended hydraulic fluid type (e.g., UTTO, IH-spec fluid) and viscosity, along with capacity, will be detailed for the lift system and transmission.
Coolant:
Type of antifreeze and water mixture ratio for the cooling system, as well as capacity.
Common Wear Items:
While not explicitly stated as 'known issues,' the manual will cover the maintenance and potential wear points for components like clutch plates, brake linings, hydraulic pumps, and axle seals, which are common service items for tractors of this age.
