ENGINE DETAIL
The Case 301 tractor is powered by a Continental GD157 diesel engine, providing robust performance with a compression ratio of 15.5:1, ideal for maximizing torque at rated RPMs of 1750. Its oil bath air cleaner offers effective dust filtration, though maintenance can be more demanding compared to dry filters. The combination of a 12-quart cooling capacity and ether pre-heating is advantageous for optimal cold-start performance, making it suitable for diverse operating conditions, particularly in colder climates.

J.I. CASE 301 TIRES
The Case 301 tractor features front tires sized 5.50x16 and rear tires sized 11x28, which support balanced traction and stability, particularly in agricultural applications. The wider rear tires enhance flotation in softer soils, reducing soil compaction, while the front tires provide adequate steering response. However, the tire specifications may limit performance in rough terrain, necessitating careful selection of operational environments for optimal functionality.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Case 301 tractor's tricycle wheelbase of 84.3 inches enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it beneficial for small farms and confined areas. However, the heavier weight of 3,750 lbs may limit its performance in soft or muddy conditions, potentially leading to traction challenges. With front tires sized at 5.50x16 and rear tires at 11x28, optimal weight distribution can support stability during operation, though tire selection should align with specific terrain to avoid excessive wear.
