system components: Ford 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine and 8x2 gear
transmission, or Dual power transmission with 16 forward and 4 reverse gears.
A 233 cubic inches (3.8 L) engine has a cylinder bore of 4.2" (107 mm),
piston stroke of 4.2" (107 mm), rated power of 69 hp (51.5 kW), and
maximum torque of 247 Nm (182 lb-ft) at 1200 rpm. The maximum travel
speed (forward/reverse): 16.8 mph (27 km/h) and 8.1 mph (13 km/h).
The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with rated capacity of
9.7 gpm (36.8 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 145 bar (2100 psi). The
