Some models may have offered creeper gears, or different gear ratios for specific applications. PTO options are also common.
Clutch Type:
Typically a dry-type, single or dual-stage clutch, depending on PTO requirements.
Safety Standards Compliance:
Designed to meet relevant agricultural machinery safety standards of its production era (e.g., ROPS availability/compliance).
Brake System Type:
Hydraulically operated internal expanding shoe or disc brakes on rear axles, possibly integrated with transmission brake.
Operator Station Features:
Standard operator seat, controls layout, and potentially provision for roll-over protection structures (ROPS) and seatbelts.
Operator Controls:
Basic mechanical controls for transmission, PTO engagement, hydraulic lift, steering, and throttle. Instrument panel typically includes basic gauges for engine RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.
Pto Speed Control:
Manual PTO engagement and speed selection (e.g., 540 RPM, 1000 RPM) through levers or selectable gears.
Electrical Connectors:
Standard wiring harness for lights, starter, alternator, and instrumentation. May include connectors for auxiliary hydraulic control or implement power.
Engine Oil Change Interval:
Typically 250-500 hours, depending on operating conditions and oil specification. Manual will specify exact intervals.
Hydraulic Fluid Change Interval:
Typically 500-1000 hours, dependent on filter changes and operating conditions. Manual will specify.
Engine Oil Type:
API CD/CE or higher quality diesel engine oil (e.g., SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 depending on climate). Specific OEM recommendation will be in the manual.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Type:
