Manual Completeness:
This is a comprehensive workshop service manual, covering all major repair and maintenance aspects for the 6240 tractor.
Engine Model:
Likely a Deutz F series diesel (e.g., F3L, F4L, F3M, F4M variants depending on exact configuration)
Engine Type:
Naturally aspirated or turbocharged, 3 or 4-cylinder diesel engine.
Displacement:
Approximately 2.5L to 3.9L (depending on the specific Deutz engine variant used in the 6240 model).
Horsepower Rating:
Typically in the range of 40-60 PTO horsepower (HP), but exact rating varies by specific engine and configuration.
Torque Rating:
Specific torque figures would be detailed in the manual, generally around 120-170 lb-ft.
Injection System:
Indirect injection (IDI) or Direct injection (DI) with mechanical injection pump.
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled (Water-cooled)
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 100-250 operating hours, or annually. Specific interval in manual.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Every 250-500 operating hours, or as recommended based on fuel quality.
Air Filter Cleaning Replacement:
Regular inspection, clean as needed, replace annually or when damaged. Service interval typically 250 hours.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 is common. Refer to manual for exact specification.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Approximately 8-10 quarts (7.6-9.5 liters) for typical 3-4 cylinder Deutz engines.
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Use UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) or specified hydraulic fluid. Refer to manual for exact specification (e.g., Case IH TCH Fluid, JD Hy-Guard).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant, typically 50/50 mix with distilled water. Refer to manual for specific coolant type and corrosion inhibitors.
Common Wear Items:
