ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case 400 tractor is powered by a diesel 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 251ci (4.1L) and a compression ratio of 15:1, which provides a robust torque characteristic at a rated RPM of 1500. The oil bath air cleaner offers superior filtration, essential for enhancing engine longevity, but may require more maintenance compared to dry filters. With an idle range from 600 to 1600 RPM and valve clearances of 0.012 inches, the tractor operates efficiently, making it suitable for various agricultural applications, although the ether pre-heating capsule may present a challenge in extremely cold climates.

TRANSMISSION
The J.I. Case 400 features a Powr-range transmission, providing 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, which allows for enhanced control in varied terrain and applications. The oil capacity of 60 quarts (56.8L) ensures sufficient lubrication for extended operation, particularly when using SAE 90 grade oil for optimal performance under load. An advantage of the single lever selection for all gears and ranges is simplified operation, although it may require practice to master for new operators, especially in challenging agricultural tasks.

J.I. CASE 400 TRANSMISSION
The J.I. Case 400 tractor features an 8-speed transmission, providing a versatile range of gears for varying field conditions and tasks. This allows for improved torque management and fuel efficiency during operations, especially in plowing or tilling scenarios. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance and operator skill to optimize performance effectively.
MECHANICAL
The J.I. Case 400 tractor features a two-wheel drive system, which enhances fuel efficiency and reduces complexity but may limit traction in challenging terrain. Its mechanical dry disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they may require more maintenance than hydraulic systems. Optional manual power steering can improve maneuverability, but operators must assess their comfort level with manual control versus potential fatigue in extended use.

J.I. CASE 400 TIRES
The J.I. Case 400 tractor features front tires sized 7.50-16 and rear tires ranging from 14-30 to 14-50, providing a balanced combination of traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires improve ground engagement and can support heavier loads, making it suitable for plowing and tilling on diverse terrains. However, the tire size may limit maneuverability in tight spaces, so it's ideal for open fields rather than confined areas.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The J.I. Case 400 tractor features a wheelbase of 82 inches, which enhances its stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for various farming tasks. Weighing between 5,600 to 6,000 pounds, its significant mass aids in traction but may limit transport options on public roads. The front tires are sized 6.00-16 and rear tires 13-30, which provide a good balance for fieldwork, though tire choice and condition can significantly affect overall performance in different terrains.
