Introduction
Renault D35: Technical Overview
The Renault D35 is a two-wheel-drive agricultural tractor produced between 1956 and 1960 at the Renault manufacturing facility in Le Mans, France. Designed for general farm duties, it represents a period of standardized mechanical reliability in mid-century European tractor production.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an MWM AKD 112 D engine. This is a 3-cylinder, air-cooled inline diesel unit with a displacement of 165.7 cubic inches (2.7 liters). It produces a rated power output of 35 hp (26.1 kW) at 1700 engine RPM. The lubrication system requires an oil capacity of 7.4 quarts (7.0 liters).
Transmission and PTO
The drivetrain utilizes a gear-type transmission providing 6 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. It features an independent rear power take-off (PTO) of the 540 (1.375) type, which operates at its rated speed when the engine reaches 1582 RPM.
Chassis and Dimensions
Built on a wheelbase of 73.3 inches (186 cm), the D35 has an operating weight of 5198 lbs (2357 kg), with a shipping weight of 3320 lbs (1505 kg). The machine stands 61.4 inches (155 cm) high at the steering wheel and has an overall length of 143.4 inches (364 cm). It is equipped with agricultural tires, typically sized 6.00-16 at the front and 11-28 at the rear.
Hydraulics and Electrical
The tractor is equipped with a Type II/I rear hitch for implement attachment. The electrical system operates on a 12-volt starter, supported by two batteries, and utilizes a negative ground configuration.
Conclusion
The Renault D35 is a straightforward, mechanical tractor suited for light to medium agricultural operations. Its air-cooled engine and simple gear-driven transmission make it a representative example of mid-1950s French agricultural engineering, valued today primarily for its durability and historical significance in the Renault D and N series lineage.
