Target Audience:
Professional Technicians and DIY Mechanics
Engine Type:
Likely a diesel engine (common for tractors of this era, specific details would require model year verification, but often British Leyland or similar origins).
Engine Configuration:
Details would vary based on specific E3 variant, but typically inline diesel (e.g., 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder).
Displacement:
Specific displacement would depend on the engine fitted to the E3 model year. Research indicates potential for engines in the 2.0L to 3.5L range.
Horsepower:
Typically in the 30-50 HP range for this class of tractor.
Injection System:
Likely a mechanical injection pump and injectors.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-200 operating hours, or annually. Specifics in manual.
Transmission Oil Change:
Recommended at 500-1000 operating hours or annually. Specifics in manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours or annually. Specifics in manual.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
Likely SAE 30 or 10W-30 diesel engine oil (check manual for exact API service classification).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Likely a universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTO) or specific hydraulic oil. Check manual for specifications.
Coolant:
A mixture of antifreeze and water, typically a 50/50 mix, following specified freeze protection levels.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump seals, injector seals, steering box wear, brake shoe adjustments.
Engine Reliability:
Generally robust, but subject to wear based on operating hours and maintenance. Overheating can be an issue if cooling system is neglected.
