Case IH 633 Troubleshooting
The
Case IH 633 utility tractor was manufactured between 1975 and 1978. The Case IH
633 tractor is powered by 179 cu.in (2.9 L) Case D179 3-cylinder direct
injection liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 52 hp (38.8 kW).
The Case IH 633 is fitted with a 2 types of transmission. Type 1: Synchromesh transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. Type 2: IH Synchron 2-speed powershift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. The maximum travel speed (forward/reverse): 15.3 mph (24.6 kph) and 8.9 mph (14.3 kph).
The open center hydraulic system has a gear pump with a rated capacity of 8.6 gpm (32.6 lpm). The hydraulic system pressure is 172 bar (2500 psi). The tractor is equipped with a mechanical or hydrostatic steering, hydraulic wet disc brakes, 6.50-16 (2WD) or 10.5-20 (4WD) front tyres, and 12.4/11-36 (2WD) or 16.9/14-28 (4WD) rear tyres. The wheelbase is 81.5" (2070 mm) for 2-wheel drive models and 80.2" (2030 mm) for 4-wheel drive models.
