Likely a synchronized manual transmission with multiple speeds (e.g., 8-speed, 12-speed, or 16-speed).
Powershift Availability:
Possible availability of a powershift or shuttle shift option on some variants.
Pto Speeds:
Standard PTO (e.g., 540 RPM) and possibly an optional 540/1000 RPM PTO.
Drive Type:
2WD (Two-Wheel Drive) standard, with 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) often available as an option.

Varies by specific model; typically 80-90 inches for this tractor class.
Overall Length:
Varies by specific model; typically 120-150 inches.
Overall Width:
Varies by specific model; typically 60-80 inches.
Operating Weight:
Estimated 3,500 - 5,500 lbs (depending on configuration, 2WD/4WD, and loader presence).
Rear Hitch Lift Capacity:
Typically around 2,500 - 4,000 lbs at the lift arms.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) typically standard or available, often with seatbelts.
Braking System:
Independent rear brakes, often with an option for wet disc brakes for enhanced performance and longevity.
Lighting:
Headlights, taillights, and work lights for operation in various conditions.
Dashboard Features:
Basic instrumentation including tachometer, engine hour meter, temperature gauge, oil pressure light, fuel gauge, and warning lights.
Power Steering:
Power-assisted steering is a common feature, reducing operator fatigue.
Trailer Hookups:
Standard electrical connections for trailer lights (if equipped with a road safety package).
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually, depending on usage severity.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 250-500 operating hours or as specified by the manual.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically every 500-1000 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and fluid type.
Engine Oil:
API CD/CE or higher, SAE 15W-40 recommended for most operating temperatures. Consult manual for specific viscosity grade based on climate.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid:
Deutz Tractors typically use a universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTF) or a specific blend meeting their requirements. Consult manual for specific part numbers or SAE grades (e.g., SAE 80W-90 for some transmissions, or specialized hydraulic fluids).
Coolant:
A mixture of antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and water, typically a 50/50 mix. Consult manual for recommended coolant type (e.g., traditional green or long-life OAT/HOAT).
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump or valve leaks, PTO clutch engagement issues, front axle wear (especially on 4WD models), electrical connector corrosion.
Engine Specific:
While Deutz engines are generally robust, potential issues could include injector wear, glow plug failure, or head gasket leaks if severely overheated.
Origin:
Deutz Allis was an agricultural equipment manufacturer formed from the acquisition of the Allis-Chalmers agricultural division by Deutz AG.
Product Line:
The 6240 series represents a segment of utility tractors produced during the Deutz Allis era, likely incorporating designs and components from the preceding Allis-Chalmers line.
Production Period:
The Deutz Allis brand was active roughly from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. The 6240 series would fall within this period.
