Part Identification:
Detailed diagrams with exploded views of all major assemblies and sub-assemblies, clearly illustrating each part and its relationship to others.
Part Number Reference:
Listing of official Allis-Chalmers part numbers for every component shown in the diagrams, crucial for ordering correct replacements.
Cross Referencing:
Potential cross-referencing information for superseded or alternative parts where applicable.
Assembly Sequences:
Implicit guidance on assembly sequences through the logical order of diagrams and part numbering within assemblies.
Depth:
Highly detailed, suitable for parts identification, ordering, and understanding assembly relationships. Does not typically include repair procedures or diagnostic steps.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours for diesel engines of this era. Consult a service manual for exact intervals.
Air Filter Service:
Regular checks, typically cleaned or replaced every 50-100 operating hours, or more frequently in dusty conditions.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 30 or 15W-40 depending on ambient temperature.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Allis-Chalmers proprietary fluid (e.g., TOU-30/40) or equivalent UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid). Capacity would be detailed in a service manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant mixture (50/50) for freeze and corrosion protection.
Wear And Tear:
Common issues for tractors of this age include hydraulic leaks, clutch wear, starter motor issues, and general electrical system wear.
Fuel System Maintenance:
Regular fuel filter changes and checking for water in the fuel separator are critical for diesel longevity.
