Intercooler Presence:
If turbocharged, an intercooler is likely present to cool the intake air, improving performance and engine longevity.
Transmission Type Standard:
The manual covers a 'standard' transmission, which could refer to a manual gearbox with multiple speeds (e.g., 8-speed or 16-speed).
Transmission Type Optional:
The manual also covers 'range transmission' and 'power-director,' suggesting options for enhanced gear selection or a specific type of power modulation.
Power Director:
This likely refers to a type of power take-off engagement or a mechanical system for smoother power delivery.
Power Shift:
Indicates the presence of a transmission with some form of power-shifting capability, allowing gear changes without disengaging the main drive.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific transmission fluid type and capacity will be detailed, crucial for proper lubrication and operation of power-shift and range-shift mechanisms.
Wheelbase Estimate:
Typical wheelbase for a tractor of this size would be in the range of 75-90 inches (190-228 cm).
Overall Length Estimate:
Estimated 130-150 inches (330-381 cm).
Operating Weight Estimate:
Estimated 4,000 - 6,000 lbs (1814 - 2722 kg) without ballast.
Safety Standard Era:
Safety standards for tractors of this era (likely 1960s-1970s) would primarily focus on mechanical safety features rather than formal crash ratings.
Braking System:
Mechanical or hydraulic braking system, detailed in the manual, likely rear-wheel braking with independent parking brake.
Protective Frame:
The manual covers 'CAB and protective frame,' indicating that these safety structures are addressed, essential for operator protection.
Infotainment Features:
