ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case tractor features a liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder engine with a modest displacement of 4.3L, offering good torque at lower RPMs (1100). The low compression ratio (4.88:1) may enhance fuel flexibility and reduce risk of knocking but limits power output, making it more suitable for tasks requiring sustained low-speed operations like tilling. Important considerations include adequate coolant capacity (20 quarts) for optimal engine temperature regulation during prolonged use.

J.I. CASE CC ENGINE
The Case CC tractor is powered by a 4.3L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offering a balance of sufficient power for medium-duty applications and reasonable fuel efficiency. The primary fuel tank capacity of 18 gallons (68.1L) coupled with an auxiliary tank of 2 gallons (7.6L) allows for extended run times, making it suitable for longer tasks without frequent refueling. However, the reliance on gasoline may present challenges in terms of fuel availability and higher operational costs compared to diesel alternatives in commercial farming scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Case CC tractor features a [-|-] gear type with a simple 3 forward and 1 reverse gear configuration, which provides ease of operation but limits versatility in varied terrain. The mechanical wet disc clutch offers smoother engagement and prolonged durability under load, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications. However, the limited gearing may pose challenges in high-speed fieldwork or steep inclines, necessitating careful speed management.

MECHANICAL
The Case CC tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers basic traction suitable for flat terrain but may struggle on slopes or in wet conditions. Its manual steering system provides direct control but can lead to operator fatigue during extended use, especially in tight turning scenarios. The 3-speed gear transmission limits speed versatility, making it ideal for low-power tasks like cultivating or hauling light loads rather than more demanding operations.

J.I. CASE CC TIRES
The Case CC tractor features an agricultural front tire size of 25x4 and a rear tire size of 48x8, providing enhanced traction and stability on various terrains. The larger rear wheels (48 inches) offer improved power transfer and decreased ground pressure, making it suitable for plowing or heavy-duty applications. However, the narrow front tires (25 inches) may affect steering control and weight distribution, particularly in muddy or loose soil conditions.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Case CC tractor, with a weight of 4100 lbs (1859 kg), boasts a balanced weight-to-power ratio suitable for various agricultural tasks. The front tires (25x4) provide good maneuverability and stability, while the larger rear tires (48x8) enhance traction in different terrains, making it ideal for field work and towing. However, its relatively smaller front tires may limit its performance in extremely rough or uneven terrains compared to tractors with larger front tire configurations.
