Introduction
J.I. Case 2470 4WD Tractor
The J.I. Case 2470 is a heavy-duty four-wheel drive tractor manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin, USA, between 1972 and 1979. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine is recognized for its high power output and robust construction.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a J.I. Case 6-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 504 cubic inches (8.3 liters). This liquid-cooled unit produces 213 horsepower (158.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine features a compression ratio of 15.8:1 and utilizes a dual-element paper air cleaner with a pre-cleaner to maintain performance in dusty conditions.
Transmission and Drive
The 2470 utilizes a Range Power Shift transmission, providing 12 forward and 2 reverse gears. This partial power shift system incorporates four ranges with three power shift gears per range, allowing for efficient speed adjustments under load. The drivetrain includes planetary final drives and a hydraulic wet disc clutch to manage the power delivery to the four-wheel drive system.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor delivers a total flow rate of 34 gpm (128.7 lpm) at a pressure of 2050 psi (141.3 bar). It features between 2 and 4 hydraulic valves to operate various implements. The rear hitch is a Category III/II configuration capable of lifting up to 10,000 lbs (4536 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor comes standard with an enclosed cab, which could be factory-equipped with optional heating and air-conditioning systems. Steering is facilitated by a hydrostatic front and hydraulic-assist rear system. With an operating weight of approximately 20,485 lbs (9291 kg) and a wheelbase of 102 inches (259 cm), the machine is designed for significant traction and stability in the field.
Conclusion
The J.I. Case 2470 serves as a powerful solution for demanding field work, characterized by its high-capacity hydraulic system and robust 4WD platform. It remains a notable example of late 1970s agricultural engineering, intended for operators requiring substantial draft power and reliable performance.
