Engine Families:
Likely powered by Case's own diesel engines, potentially including naturally aspirated and turbocharged variants of the 451 cubic inch (7.4L) and 504 cubic inch (8.3L) engine families, or Cummins engines depending on specific model and market.
Horsepower Range:
Engine horsepower varied across the models, typically ranging from approximately 100 HP for smaller models to over 200 HP for larger, turbocharged variants.
Torque Specifications:
Specific torque ratings would vary by engine displacement and configuration, but were designed for high pulling power in agricultural applications.
Fuel Injection Type:
Direct injection, typically with rotary or inline injection pumps (e.g., Stanadyne DB2, Bosch VE/MW) and mechanical governor systems.
Cooling Medium:
Water-cooled with thermostatically controlled fan and radiator.
Transmission Type:
Many models featured a powershift transmission, often Case's own 'PowerShift' or 'PowerDrive' with multiple gear ratios and a torque converter, providing on-the-go shifting capabilities. Some variants may have had a synchronized gear transmission.
Optional Transmission:
Depending on the specific model, optional transmissions might have included a creeper gear or different gear ratio sets for specialized applications.
Powershift Features:
Includes features like 'Twin-Lok' for clutchless forward/reverse directional changes and multiple speed ranges selectable under load.
Transmission Fluid Type:
Typically required a high-quality hydraulic/transmission fluid meeting specific Case specifications (e.g., T.I.D. - Tractor Implement Drive fluid).
Wheelbase:
Varies by model, typically in the range of 100-120 inches (approx. 2540-3048 mm).
Overall Length:
Varies by model, generally around 180-200 inches (approx. 4572-5080 mm).
Operating Weight:
Unballasted operating weights typically ranged from 15,000 lbs (approx. 6800 kg) to over 20,000 lbs (approx. 9070 kg).
Front Axle Capacity:
Designed to handle significant front-end loads, especially with front-end loaders and ballast weights.
Instrumentation:
Basic but functional dashboard with analog gauges for engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and hour meter. Warning lights for critical system faults.
Traction Control:
No electronic traction control systems. Traction achieved through 4WD engagement, tire tread, and ballast.
Connectivity Features:
None; these tractors predate modern electronic connectivity features.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250 hours of operation, depending on operating conditions and oil type.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Recommended every 1000-1500 hours, or annually, with filter changes at more frequent intervals (e.g., 250-500 hours).
Transmission Fluid Change:
Similar to hydraulic fluid, typically every 1000-1500 hours.
Engine Oil Specification:
API CD or CE service category oils, SAE 15W-40 diesel engine oil recommended for most conditions. Consult manual for specific viscosity requirements based on ambient temperature.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
Case T.I.D. (Tractor Implement Drive) fluid or equivalent meeting Case specifications for lubrication, cooling, and hydraulic functions.
Coolant Specification:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water, meeting heavy-duty diesel engine coolant standards.
Common Wear Items:
Wear on powershift clutches, hydraulic pump wear, fuel injector pump and injector issues, and potential electrical harness degradation due to age.
