ENGINE DETAIL

The Allis Chalmers 7580 features a robust 7.0L turbocharged diesel engine with a high compression ratio of 16:1, optimizing power delivery and efficiency at rated RPMs of 2550. Its substantial oil and coolant capacities (25qts and 38qts, respectively) ensure adequate lubrication and temperature regulation during extended operations, which is advantageous for heavy-duty tasks. However, the reliance on a dry air cleaner may necessitate more frequent maintenance in dusty environments, potentially impacting operational readiness.
