J.I. CASE CF 400 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case CF 400 tractor features a robust Indenor XDP85 diesel engine with a displacement of 1.8L, delivering a power output of 40hp at a rated RPM of 2500, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. The oil bath air cleaner design enhances longevity in dusty environments, while a 21:1 compression ratio optimizes fuel efficiency but may limit performance at higher altitudes. Maintenance considerations include a relatively low oil and coolant capacity, necessitating regular checks to prevent overheating or lubrication issues during prolonged use.

MECHANICAL
The J.I. Case CF 400 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers simplicity and lower maintenance compared to 4WD systems, but may limit traction on challenging terrains. The mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction in slippery conditions, while the manual steering and mechanical drum brakes provide basic but reliable control. Its 8-speed gear transmission allows for versatile operation, making it suitable for tasks that require varied speed settings, though the open operator station lacks weather protection for the operator.
