Introduction
J.I. Case 802-B Standard-Tread Tractor
The J.I. Case 802-B is a standard-tread agricultural tractor produced between 1958 and 1959. Manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin, USA, this model served as a 60-horsepower utility machine, with a limited production run of 984 units.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, four-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 267 cubic inches (4.4 liters). It operates at a rated speed of 1800 RPM and features a 15:1 compression ratio. The induction system utilizes an oil bath air cleaner, and the engine is started via an electric starter system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 802-B utilizes the Case-O-Matic transmission system, which incorporates a torque converter with a bypass feature to lock into direct drive. The gearbox provides eight forward speeds and two reverse speeds, controlled by a single shift lever. Power is transferred through a hydraulic wet disc clutch to the rear wheels in a two-wheel drive configuration.
Mechanical Systems
Steering is managed by a power-assisted system, and the tractor is equipped with mechanical disc brakes for deceleration and parking. The machine is fitted with a rear power take-off (PTO) operating at a standard speed of 540 RPM, allowing it to interface with a variety of period-appropriate agricultural implements.
Conclusion
The J.I. Case 802-B represents a specific era of mid-century tractor design, characterized by the inclusion of the torque converter transmission. With its 60 hp output and standard-tread configuration, it was designed for general field operations and remains a notable model for collectors of J.I. Case machinery.
