ENGINE DETAIL
The Galloway Farmobile tractor features a 4-cylinder, gasoline engine with a displacement of 5.2 L and a hand-crank starter, which might be challenging for usability but adds to its vintage appeal. With a bore and stroke of 4.50x5.00 inches, it is likely optimized for torque, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks at lower RPMs (800). The liquid-cooled system with a 56-quart capacity ensures efficient temperature control, aiding in prolonged operation under load.

TRANSMISSION
The Galloway Farmobile tractor features a basic gear transmission system with 2 forward and 1 reverse gear, offering simple maneuverability in agricultural settings. The Raybestos faced cone clutch provides a smooth engagement and disengagement of gears, which can enhance operational efficiency, particularly in tasks requiring frequent directional changes. However, the limited gear selection may challenge performance in varying terrain, necessitating careful management of the tractor's speed and power output for optimal fieldwork.

MECHANICAL
The Galloway Farmobile tractor's 4x2 2WD chassis provides stability for light to medium-duty tasks but may struggle on steeper terrains due to lack of four-wheel drive. The manual steering system offers simplicity and ease of maintenance but can be less responsive in tight maneuvering. The 2-speed gear transmission provides basic operational flexibility, making it suitable for tasks like small fieldwork or yard maintenance but may limit performance on various soil types or larger implements.

GALLOWAY FARMOBILE TIRES
The Galloway Farmobile tractor features a robust agricultural front tire size of 40x10 and a rear tire size of 60x24, enhancing stability and traction on various terrains. The steel construction provides durability but may lead to increased weight, potentially affecting fuel efficiency and maneuverability in softer ground conditions. This configuration is advantageous for heavy-duty applications but may require careful handling on uneven surfaces to prevent soil compaction.
