ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case 510-B is powered by a G164 gasoline engine with a modest displacement of 164.5 cubic inches, offering reliable low-end torque suitable for agricultural tasks at a rated RPM of 2000. The 7.3:1 compression ratio and oil bath air cleaner enhance durability and performance, although the relatively low compression may limit fuel efficiency and power output compared to modern engines. With a coolant capacity of 12 quarts, it efficiently manages heat, making it appropriate for prolonged operation under load, though maintenance of the cooling system is essential to prevent overheating in demanding scenarios.
