Introduction
J.I. Case 800-B Standard-Tread Tractor
The J.I. Case 800-B is a standard-tread agricultural tractor manufactured between 1958 and 1959 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. Part of the broader Case tractor lineage, this two-wheel-drive model was designed for general agricultural duties, delivering 60 horsepower.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 267 cubic inches (4.4 L). It operates at a rated speed of 1800 RPM and features a 15:1 compression ratio. The engine utilizes an oil bath air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions, and the system requires 30 quarts (28.4 L) of coolant and 9 quarts (8.5 L) of oil.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 800-B is equipped with the Case-O-Matic transmission, which incorporates a torque converter with a bypass feature allowing for direct drive. The transmission provides 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, organized into two ranges managed by a single shift lever. The clutch system consists of a hydraulic wet disc arrangement.
Mechanical and Hydraulic Systems
The machine features power steering to assist the operator during field maneuvers and utilizes mechanical disc brakes for stopping power. The rear power take-off (PTO) is an independent system operating at 540 RPM with a 1.375-inch shaft. The tractor also supports the optional Case Eagle Hitch for implement attachment.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The tractor is built on a 210 cm (82.75 inches) wheelbase with an overall length of 339 cm (133.75 inches). It features an open operator station design. The front tread is adjustable between 132 and 147 cm, while the rear tread offers four settings ranging from 132 to 162 cm to accommodate various row crop requirements.
Conclusion
With 255 units produced, the J.I. Case 800-B serves as a representative example of late-1950s American tractor engineering. Its combination of a torque converter transmission and standard-tread configuration makes it a suitable machine for versatile field applications and general farm maintenance.
