ENGINE DETAIL
The Minneapolis-Moline ZAS, equipped with a 206ci (3.4L) gasoline engine, features a 6.19:1 compression ratio and operates efficiently at a rated RPM of 1500, making it suitable for low-speed agricultural applications. The oil bath air cleaner ensures improved engine longevity, but the carburetor fuel system may present challenges in fuel efficiency and cold starting compared to modern EFI systems. With a 6-volt starter and substantial oil (7qts) and coolant (15qts) capacities, the tractor offers solid performance for tasks like tilling or row cropping in less demanding environments.

MINNEAPOLIS-MOLINE ZAS ENGINE
The Minneapolis-Moline ZAS tractor is powered by a 3.4L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offering a balance between power output and fuel efficiency. With a 19-gallon (71.9L) fuel tank, it provides extended operational capacity, making it suitable for medium-sized agricultural tasks without frequent refueling breaks. However, the gasoline engine may incur higher fuel costs compared to diesel alternatives, particularly in high-use scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Minneapolis-Moline ZAS tractor features an unsynchronized transmission with 5 forward and 1 reverse gear, which can make shifting between gears more challenging, especially under load. Its dry disc clutch provides a reliable engagement but may require more maintenance and adjustment compared to hydraulic options. This tractor is suitable for straightforward agricultural tasks but may not be ideal for applications requiring frequent gear changes.

MINNEAPOLIS-MOLINE ZAS TRANSMISSION
The Minneapolis-Moline ZAS features a 5-speed unsynchronized transmission, which allows for versatile speed selection but requires precise shifting skills due to the lack of synchronization. This may challenge operators during gear changes, especially under load, potentially leading to gear grinding if not executed correctly. However, the simplicity of the mechanical design can be advantageous in terms of maintenance and operational reliability, making it suitable for agricultural tasks that prioritize durability.

MECHANICAL
The Minneapolis-Moline ZAS tractor features a two-wheel drive system, ideal for light tillage and row crop applications, but may struggle with traction on uneven or wet terrain. Its manual steering offers simplicity and reliability, although it requires more operator effort compared to power steering systems. The mechanical drum brakes provide adequate stopping power for general use, but users should expect reduced performance in emergency situations compared to modern hydraulic systems; in scenarios requiring quick stops, this can be a significant drawback.
