Engine Oil:
API CD or CE classification diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 is common (verify with specific manual).
Hydraulic Fluid:
Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid (UTTF) or appropriate ISO VG 46 hydraulic fluid (verify with specific manual).
Transmission Fluid:
UTTF or specific tractor transmission fluid as per Deutz-Allis recommendations.
Common Wear Points:
Common wear items include clutch components, PTO engagement, hydraulic pump seals, and front axle kingpins. Electrical connections can also be a point of concern over time.
Engine Reliability:
Deutz engines are generally robust, but common issues can include injector problems, glow plug failures, and cooling system maintenance if neglected.
Brand Origin:
Deutz-Allis was an American agricultural machinery manufacturer, formed from the agricultural divisions of Allis-Chalmers and Deutz-Fahr in the 1980s. It later became part of AGCO Corporation.
Production Period:
The 6240 likely falls within the late 1980s to early 1990s production era for Deutz-Allis.
Manufacturing Location:
Typically manufactured in the United States.
