ENGINE DETAIL
The Case 30-60, powered by a kerosene-fueled, 2-cylinder engine, features a substantial displacement of 30.9 L, offering robust torque for agricultural demands. With a bore and stroke of 10.00x12.00 inches, it is designed for low RPM operations at 365, ensuring fuel efficiency but may limit power during high-load conditions. The significant coolant capacity of 680 quarts allows for effective thermal management, essential for prolonged usage in hot environments, although the hand-crank starter may pose challenges in modern operational settings.

J.I. CASE 30-60 ENGINE
The J.I. Case 30-60 tractor is equipped with a robust 30.9L 2-cylinder kerosene engine, providing substantial torque for heavy-duty applications. Its large fuel capacity of 90 gallons (340.7 L) combined with an auxiliary fuel tank of 22 gallons (83.3 L) enables extended operation without frequent refueling, ideal for agricultural operations on larger farms. However, the reliance on kerosene may require careful handling and specialized maintenance practices to optimize performance and reduce emissions compared to modern diesel alternatives.

TRANSMISSION
The Case 30-60 tractor features a gear transmission system with a single forward gear, which simplifies operation but limits speed and torque flexibility. This design is advantageous for straightforward tasks like plowing or hauling in less variable terrain but may pose challenges in applications requiring multiple speed adjustments. Ideal for small-scale farming operations, this tractor excels in tasks where consistent power is more critical than versatility.

MECHANICAL
The Case 30-60 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for light-duty applications but limiting traction in challenging terrain. The manual steering system offers simplicity and ease of maintenance, although it may require more effort during extended operation. With a 1-speed gear transmission, this model is efficient for specific tasks, but it lacks versatility for varying speeds, making it ideal for consistent, low-speed operations like tilling or plowing small fields.
