Engine Family:
Ford 3-Cylinder Diesel (likely based on the 152 or 175 cubic inch engine families used in this era)
Displacement Approximate:
Approximately 152 cu in (2.5L) to 175 cu in (2.87L), depending on exact variant.
Horsepower Estimate:
Typically in the 45-55 PTO horsepower range.
Torque Estimate:
Torque figures vary but are optimized for pulling power in agricultural applications.
Injection Type:
Indirect injection (IDI) common for this era's Ford diesels.
Oil Type Recommendation:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, viscosity typically SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate. Specific Ford specifications would be in the service manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based coolant with corrosion inhibitors (e.g., 50/50 mix with distilled water).
Transmission Type:
Manual transmission, likely with multiple forward gears and reverse. Options may include a sliding gear or constant mesh type.
Differential Lock:
Often equipped with a differential lock for improved traction.
Pto:
Standard Power Take-Off (PTO), typically 540 RPM, sometimes with a 1000 RPM option. The IPL will detail PTO shaft and housing parts.
Wheelbase:
Variable based on configuration, but typically around 70-75 inches for utility tractors of this size.
Operating Weight Approximate:
Around 3500-4500 lbs, depending on options and ballast.
Front Axle Weight Approximate:
Approx. 1000-1300 lbs.
Rear Axle Weight Approximate:
Approx. 2500-3200 lbs.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) was often an option or dealer-installed, not always standard from factory in earlier production years. Manual will list ROPS components if equipped.
Braking System:
Mechanical drum brakes or inboard disc brakes on rear axle, operated by foot pedals. Hand brake for parking.
Operator Station Design:
Basic operator platform, importance of proper guards and shields for moving parts.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours, or annually. Refer to specific service manual for exact interval and oil capacity.
Transmission Oil Change:
Generally every 500-1000 operating hours. Fluid type is critical (e.g., universal tractor transmission fluid - UTF or equivalent).
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Similar to transmission, typically 500-1000 operating hours. Proper fluid is crucial for pump longevity.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximately 6-7 quarts (liters) for most 3-cylinder Ford engines of this era.
Hydraulic System Capacity:
Varies significantly by configuration, but often around 5-8 gallons for the main reservoir plus lines.
Engine Reliability:
Known for robust diesel engines, but glow plug issues, injector wear, and potential for head gasket leaks can occur with age and mileage.
Hydraulic Performance:
Leaking hydraulic cylinders, worn pump seals, and clogged filters are common maintenance points. The IPL is vital for identifying correct seal kits and filter part numbers.
Transmission Wear:
Worn clutch components, synchros (if applicable), and bearings in the gearbox can lead to shifting difficulties or noise. Parts identification is key for rebuilds.
Electrical Aging:
Wiring harness degradation, corroded connections, and aging starter/alternator components are typical for vintage machinery.
Ford Tractor Division:
Ford was a major player in agricultural machinery, known for reliable and versatile tractors.
4000 Series:
The 4000 series was a popular line of utility tractors, evolving from earlier Ford models and serving a broad range of agricultural and industrial tasks. The 4400 was a significant variant within this series, often featuring more powerful engines and upgraded transmissions compared to base models.
Production Years Approximate:
The Ford 4400 was primarily produced from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s (e.g., approximately 1965-1975).
