ENGINE DETAIL
The Case 22-40 tractor features a kerosene-powered 4-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a substantial displacement of 641 cubic inches (10.5 L), providing robust torque for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a bore and stroke of 5.50x6.75 inches (140 x 171 mm) and a low-rated RPM of 850, it excels in high-torque applications but may struggle with high-speed operations. The hand-crank starter adds simplicity and reliability but can pose challenges in terms of operator effort, especially in colder climates.

J.I. CASE 22-40 ENGINE
The Case 22-40 tractor is equipped with a robust 10.5L 4-cylinder kerosene engine, which offers high torque output suitable for heavy-duty applications. An advantage of using kerosene as fuel includes lower fuel costs compared to diesel, though it may pose challenges in cold starts and higher emissions. This tractor is ideal for medium to large farming operations that require versatility and durability under demanding conditions.

TRANSMISSION
The Case 22-40 tractor features a sliding gear transmission with 2 forward and 1 reverse gear, providing basic operational functionality suitable for light agricultural tasks. While its simplicity can be an advantage in terms of reliability and ease of maintenance, the limited gear selection may pose challenges in navigating varied terrain or executing more demanding fieldwork. Ideal for small farms or vintage machinery collectors, this tractor excels in straightforward applications but may struggle in high-power scenarios requiring more gear options.

MECHANICAL
The Case 22-40 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers simpler maintenance and lower initial costs compared to 4WD systems, but limits traction on uneven terrains. The manual steering provides a direct connection for the operator, enhancing control at low speeds, but may lead to increased fatigue during extended use. The 2-speed sliding gear transmission allows versatility in power delivery for various tasks, though it may not offer the same efficiency levels as modern synchronized transmissions.

J.I. CASE 22-40 TIRES
The Case 22-40 tractor features agricultural rear tires sized 56x16, which offer a robust steel construction, providing durability and traction in various field conditions. These tires are optimized for stability while plowing or hauling, enhancing the tractor's overall performance. However, the larger tire size may lead to increased soil compaction, necessitating careful management in sensitive agricultural environments.
