ENGINE DETAIL
The Case 310-B tractor features a 4-cylinder, 2.4L gasoline engine with a relatively low compression ratio of 7.1:1, which can lead to less power output but allows for smoother operation on lower-quality fuels. Its robust oil bath air cleaner enhances engine longevity by providing effective filtration, though it requires regular maintenance. The electric 12V starter and wide idle RPM range (500-2050) offer versatility for various agricultural tasks, while the specific spark plug and valve clearances are essential for ensuring optimal engine performance and reliability.
