Case IH CX-60 Troubleshooting
The
Case IH CX60 utility tractor was manufactured between 1998 and 2002. The Case IH
CX60 tractor is powered by 165 cu.in (2.7 L) Perkins 903.27T 3-cylinder
turbocharged direct injection diesel engine with a rated power of 64 hp (47.7
kW).
The Case IH CX-60 is fitted with a 2 types of transmission. Type 1: Synchro shuttle transmission with 8 forward and 8 reverse gears. Type 2: Partial powershift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears. The maximum travel speed (forward/reverse): 24.4 mph (39.2 kph) and 22.1 mph (35.5 kph). The open center hydraulic system has a gear pump with a rated capacity of 13.7 gpm (51.9 lpm).
The hydraulic system pressure is 173 bar (2500 psi). The tractor is equipped with a hydrostatic power steering, differential hydraulic wet disc brakes, 7.50x16 (2WD) or 12.4R24 (4WD) front tyres, and 14.9-28 (2WD) or 18.4R30 (4WD) rear tyres. The wheelbase is 84.8" (2150 mm) for 2WD models and 87.2" (2210 mm) for 4WD models.
