Introduction
J.I. Case 310C Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The J.I. Case 310C is a specialized agricultural crawler tractor produced between 1958 and 1960. Designed for operation in demanding field conditions, this machine combines tracked mobility with a gasoline-powered drivetrain to provide consistent traction and utility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled gasoline engine with a displacement of 148 cubic inches (2.4 liters). It produces a gross power output of 42 hp (31.3 kW) at a rated speed of 1850 RPM. The engine intake is protected by an oil bath air cleaner, and the system is supported by a 6-volt electrical starter.
Transmission and Drive System
The 310C utilizes a gear-type transmission providing 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. Power is transferred to the tracks via a dry disc clutch. The crawler design features 10-inch tracks and a 54-inch wheelbase, which provides the necessary ground contact for stability. Braking is managed through a contracting band system.
Hydraulics and PTO
The machine is equipped with an open-center hydraulic system capable of a pump flow of 15 gpm (56.8 lpm), allowing for the operation of various hydraulic implements. The rear Power Take-Off (PTO) operates at a standard speed of 540 RPM, which is achieved when the engine is running at 1727 RPM.
Conclusion
With an operating weight ranging from 5,300 to 6,145 pounds, the J.I. Case 310C serves as a durable solution for agricultural tasks requiring high traction and specialized maneuverability in soft or uneven terrain.
