ENGINE DETAIL

The J.I. Case 801-B features a robust 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 267 ci (4.4L) and a high compression ratio of 15:1, optimizing fuel efficiency and torque for agricultural applications. The 4.125-inch bore and 5.00-inch stroke indicate a torque-focused design, ideal for tasks requiring consistent power delivery at its rated RPM of 1800. Key advantages include its oil bath air cleaner for enhanced engine protection, though potential challenges may arise from maintenance needs and engine weight in certain operating conditions.

J.I. CASE 801-B ENGINE

The Case 801-B tractor is powered by a J.I. Case 4.4L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of efficiency and power for agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 22 gallons (83.3 liters), it offers a substantial operational range, making it suitable for extended fieldwork without frequent refueling. However, the 4-cylinder design may limit torque output compared to larger engines, which could affect performance in heavy tillage scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The Case 801-B tractor features a Case-O-Matic transmission with a torque converter, providing smooth gear changes and enhanced power delivery during operation. The hydraulic wet disc clutch system improves durability and reduces wear, enhancing performance in heavy-duty applications. It's optimal for scenarios requiring frequent direction changes or variable load conditions, but reliance on hydraulic components may increase maintenance complexity.

J.I. CASE 801-B TRANSMISSION

The Case 801-B tractor features an 8-speed torque converter transmission, providing enhanced torque multiplication and seamless shifting for improved power delivery in varied field conditions. This setup optimizes performance while minimizing operator fatigue by allowing smoother transitions between speeds. However, the complexity of the torque converter may require more maintenance compared to traditional gear systems, potentially increasing long-term upkeep costs.

MECHANICAL

The Case 801-B tractor features a two-wheel drive system, which enhances fuel efficiency and reduces operational costs, making it suitable for lighter agricultural tasks. However, the mechanical disc brakes may require frequent maintenance and could underperform in muddy or uneven terrain compared to hydraulic systems. The open operator station offers improved visibility and comfort but may expose the operator to harsh weather conditions, necessitating appropriate gear for prolonged use.

J.I. CASE 801-B TIRES

The Case 801-B tractor features a front tire size of 6.00-16 and a rear tire size of 15.5-38, optimizing stability and traction for agricultural operations. The larger rear tires provide enhanced power transfer and improved load-carrying capability, making it suitable for plowing and heavy towing tasks. However, users should ensure proper tire pressure and tread condition to maximize performance and minimize soil compaction during field work.
