Make Model:
Deutz (Specific model not detailed, but typically air-cooled diesels for this era)
Horsepower:
Varies by specific configuration, likely in the 60-80 HP range for a tractor of this class.
Torque:
Not specified, but critical for pulling power and PTO operation.
Injection Type:
Likely direct injection or indirect injection, depending on the specific Deutz engine model.
Type:
Manual Synchromesh or Partial Synchromesh Gearbox
Transmission Options:
May include options like a creeper gear or a specific PTO speed transmission.
Pto Speed:
Standard PTO speeds (e.g., 540 RPM, 1000 RPM) are usually covered for operation and maintenance.
Clutch Type:
Typically a single-stage or two-stage dry clutch for tractors of this era.
Rollover Protection:
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) availability and installation, if applicable, would be detailed.
Brakes:
Mechanical or hydraulic disc brakes, with service and parking brake functions.
Seatbelt:
Availability and maintenance of seatbelts, if equipped.
Radio:
Optional, likely a basic AM/FM radio, if equipped.
Power Steering:
Standard power steering for improved maneuverability.
Instrument Panel:
Analog gauges for engine temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, tachometer, and hour meter.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically 250-500 operating hours, depending on operating conditions and oil type.
Hydraulic Oil Change:
Generally every 500-1000 operating hours, or annually.
Air Filter Maintenance:
Check and clean every 50-100 hours, replace as needed, especially in dusty conditions.
Engine Oil:
CD, CE, or CF-grade SAE 15W-40 or 30 diesel engine oil (refer to manual for specific Deutz recommendation).
Hydraulic Fluid:
Tractor hydraulic fluid (THF) or equivalent, meeting specific viscosity and additive requirements. Often John Deere J20C specification or similar.
Transmission Oil:
Typically a heavy-duty tractor transmission oil (TDTO) or Universal Tractor Transmission Oil (UTTO) conforming to API GL-4 standards. Refer to manual for specific grades.
Coolant:
For air-cooled engines, typically no coolant. For liquid-cooled variants (if any), a mixture of distilled water and ethylene glycol based antifreeze.
Common Wear Points:
Clutch wear, hydraulic pump and cylinder seal leaks, PTO clutch engagement issues, potential for injector pump calibration drift over time.
Electrical Gremlins:
Age-related wiring harness degradation or connector corrosion can lead to intermittent electrical faults.
Deutz Allis:
Deutz-Allis Corporation was a significant manufacturer of agricultural machinery, known for its robust and reliable tractors, often featuring Deutz diesel engines.
6240 Series:
The 6240 likely represents a mid-range utility tractor from the Deutz-Allis lineup, designed for a variety of farm tasks.
Manufacturing Period:
Production years not specified, but typical for Deutz-Allis tractors in the late 1980s to early 1990s.
