Engine Type General:
Diesel (typical for Ford New Holland tractors of this era).
Engine Manufacturer Typical:
Ford/New Holland (often based on established diesel engine designs).
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 40-70 HP range, depending on the specific model (e.g., 345D, 445D, 545D).
Injection System:
Mechanical or electronic indirect injection (likely mechanical for older models).
Transmission Type Standard:
Manual transmission, often with a synchronized gearbox and a dual-clutch system for PTO operation.
Transmission Type Optional:
Some models may have offered a powershift or shuttle shift transmission option.
Gear Configuration:
Multiple forward and reverse gears (e.g., 8F/8R, 12F/12R, or similar configurations).

Requires specific tractor transmission/hydraulic fluid (e.g., Ford/New Holland M2C134-D or equivalent specification).
Dimensions General:
Varies by model, but typically compact to medium-sized utility tractors.
Operating Weight Typical:
Around 4,000-6,000 kg (9,000-13,000 lbs) depending on configuration and loader.
Safety Standards:
Adherence to relevant ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) standards where applicable.
Safety Features Active:
Brake interlocks, PTO safety switches, hazard lights.
Safety Features Passive:
ROPS, seatbelts, operator station guarding.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, depending on usage and oil type.
Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:
Typically every 1000-1500 operating hours, or annually.
Air Filter Replacement Interval:
Check frequently, replace as needed based on operating conditions (e.g., dusty environments).
Engine Oil Type:
API CG-4 or CH-4 rated Diesel engine oil, viscosity typically 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with a 50% antifreeze/50% water mixture, providing freeze and corrosion protection.
Common Wear Items:
Hydraulic seals, clutch components, PTO clutch, engine injectors, starter motor.
Electrical Gremlins:
Wiring harness degradation, switch failures, especially in older units due to environmental exposure.
Hydraulic Performance:
Loss of hydraulic power or slow operation due to worn pump, leaky cylinders, or clogged filters.
