ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Minneapolis-Moline M-604 features a robust 336ci (5.5L) gasoline engine with a bore and stroke of 4.625 x 5.00 inches, providing a balance of torque and horsepower at a rated RPM of 1500. Its oil bath air cleaner enhances engine longevity by effectively removing contaminants, but it may require more maintenance compared to dry filters. This tractor is well-suited for tasks requiring steady power at low RPMs, such as plowing and tilling, though its lower RPM rating may limit high-speed applications.

ENGINE DETAIL 3
The Minneapolis-Moline M-604 is powered by a 336 ci (5.5L) liquid-cooled, LP gas 4-cylinder engine, providing a substantial power output at a lower rated RPM of 1500, which can enhance fuel efficiency during prolonged operations. With a bore of 4.625 inches and a stroke of 5.00 inches, this tractor’s longer stroke facilitates better torque characteristics, yet may limit its maximum RPM capabilities. The oil bath air cleaner aids in dust filtration, extending engine life, but requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance in adverse conditions.
