ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Case 310 tractor features a J.I. Case G148 gasoline engine with a modest displacement of 148 ci (2.4L) and a compression ratio of 7.1:1, which may result in lower power output compared to modern counterparts, yet offers reliability and simplicity in agricultural applications. The tractor's oil bath air cleaner helps maintain engine efficiency in dusty conditions, while the 6-volt starter system may require careful maintenance due to its lower energy capacity. With a coolant capacity of 12 quarts (11.4L), adequate thermal management for sustained operation is achievable, but operators should monitor temperatures closely during heavy loads to prevent overheating.

J.I. CASE 310 ENGINES
The Case 310 tractor is equipped with either a J.I. Case 2.4L 4-cylinder gasoline engine or a 2.4L 4-cylinder LP gas engine, offering versatility in fuel options. The gasoline variant typically delivers a higher power output, beneficial for heavy-duty applications, while the LP gas version provides cleaner emissions and can be more economical for prolonged use in rural settings. However, the availability of fuel types and service infrastructure can pose challenges in certain locations, so selecting the appropriate engine depends on operational requirements and regional support.
