⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Type:

4 Cylinder Diesel (typical for 6600)

Displacement:

Approximately 233 cubic inches (3.8L) for a typical 4-cylinder diesel engine in the 6600 series (verify specific engine variant).

Bore Stroke:

Specific bore and stroke dimensions are not provided but are detailed for the engine family within the manual's scope.

Engine Block Design:

Cast iron block, typical for robust diesel engines of the era.

Horsepower Range:

Estimated 70-75 PTO HP (typical for this class and era, specific to 6600 needs verification from a service manual).

Torque Range:

High torque for agricultural applications (specific figures would be in a service manual).

Compression Ratio:

Typical for diesel engines of this era, around 16:1 to 18:1, impacting efficiency and power output. Specifics are found in service manuals.

Fuel Type:

Diesel

Injection System:

Likely rotary or inline injection pump system (specifics vary by sub-model and year, detailed in service manual).

Fuel Filter Part Numbers:

The manual would contain specific part numbers for fuel filters, primary and secondary.

Injector Types:

Parts for fuel injectors and associated lines would be detailed.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Likely a 10-speed manual transmission (e.g., 8-speed with creeper or 10-speed constant mesh), or potentially a Select-O-Speed transmission depending on the specific 6600 variant. The manual covers transmission parts, implying its inclusion.

Gear Ratios:

The manual details parts for the transmission, implying coverage of all gear sets and shifting mechanisms, crucial for understanding operational ranges.

Pto Options:

Dual PTO speeds (540/1000 RPM) likely available, with parts covered.

Transmission Options:

Potentially offered with a Select-O-Speed (SOS) transmission, which was an automatic power shift option on some Ford tractors of this era. The parts manual would cover both manual and SOS variants if applicable.

📐 Dimensions

Operating Weight:

Approx. 6,000 - 7,000 lbs (typical for a 4WD AG tractor of this size and era, specific to 6600).

🔧 Maintenance

Engine Oil Change:

Typically 100-250 hours, depending on operating conditions (refer to specific service manual for exact intervals and oil type).

Hydraulic Filter Change:

Typically every 250-500 hours or annually. The manual would list the correct filter part number.

Transmission Oil Change:

Varies by type, but typically every 1000-2000 hours. The manual would provide part numbers for filters if applicable.

Engine Oil:

API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 recommended (check specific manual for viscosity based on ambient temperature).

Hydraulic Fluid:

Ford/New Holland 134D Universal Tractor Transmission Oil (UTTO) or equivalent UTF (Universal Hydraulic Fluid) (Capacity around 8-10 gallons, check specific manual).

Transmission Fluid:

Often shares hydraulic fluid (UTTO/UTF) for transmission and rear axle lubrication (verify in service manual).

Final Drive Oil:

Typically shares hydraulic fluid (UTTO/UTF) with the transmission and rear axle. Verify in the service manual.

Coolant Type:

Conventional ethylene glycol-based coolant (50/50 mix with distilled water). Specific Ford coolant specifications would be detailed in a service manual.

Common Wear Items:

Clutch wear, hydraulic pump performance degradation, steering cylinder leaks, PTO clutch engagement issues (parts for these are detailed in the manual).

Cooling System Issues:

Radiator leaks, thermostat failures, water pump seals (all covered by parts listings).
