T-40 tractor: specifications

Agriculture is increasingly gaining popularity in Russia. But not everyone can afford to purchase new equipment for processing of fields and harvest. If the area is small, it is better suited for a small and versatile vehicle, thus for a relatively small cost.

T-40

T-40 - tractor, which became almost a legend. Famous brand, which was produced in the period from 1961 until 1991 at the tractor plant, located in the city of Lipetsk.

The tractor T-40 is mainly used for plowing the fields and the processing of rather light soil. Not excluded, and harvesting hay. Due to its small size and reasonable power, tractor was used to work in the greenhouse and also for a variety of cargo.

Design

The T-40 tractor that has a standard polutemnoy design, which consists of a bearing box to gear shift, and a dependent rear axle. The motor is in the front part, it is installed on a small separate frame, which, in turn, is rigidly fixed to the transmission housing T-40. Tractor slavitsa reliable rear-wheel drive, the rotation is transmitted to wheels with a larger diameter. The wheels are attached to the frame by means of rigid suspension.

Front, part-time guides, the wheels are much smaller in diameter than the rear. Tractor T-40 AM different from all other modifications of the wheel drive and the front axle. On the vehicle designers provided the opportunity to adjust and when you change the type of work to change the ground clearance and track wheels. To be able to work on very steep slopes, to ensure the normal stability, there is the possibility of increasing the track width. On the tractor T-40 wheel-set method "inside out."

The Engine

The T-40 tractor that regardless picking set running on diesel motor grade D-37. A feature of such power plant is the presence of air cooling system. Tractor T-40 (photo below) can also be equipped with and motor grade D-144 with a force of 50 horses. An earlier version was run with an additional engine brand PD-8 running on gasoline. On later models mounted electric starter with ability to run from the interior of the cabin.

Drivetrain

Thanks to the specially designed reverse system installed on the T-40, the tractor can work with the entire set of available speeds, both forward and backward. An interesting feature of the design is the location of the conical reducer. It is immediately after the clutch, and as a result had to install the transmission shafts transversely. For work at low speeds there is a possibility of installation of additional hedonistically working with hydrostatic or mechanical drive. The T-40 has two shafts for the PTO one rear and the second side. Repair of tractors T-40 is much simpler to implement, just because of the convenient location of all operating units.

Work

This tractor has the opportunity to work with almost any mounted or trailed equipment, which was developed for heavier models, the type of MTW, as well as lighter, as the T-25. This is one of the main advantages, as there is no need to create separate equipment for this model or modify the existing one. The presence of two multimode TION can significantly increase the use of this technique.

Engine Repair

Sometimes there are situations when while working one of the parts ceases to work properly, this can not be avoided, you can only fix. The most common problem, which "suffers" the tractor T-40 (photo of it is given in the article) and the engine sometimes does not start the motor. The main reason is the occurrence of blockages in the internal part of the fuel line. Fix is quite simple - you need to flush all the hoses, after which they are purged and dried. Only then attempt to start the powerplant again. In some cases, it's much easier - got to the pipeline the air. The solution is to remove the air bubble by using a full fill system. If the failed filters, rinse them and replace will not be easy because of the convenient layout on the frame.

Sometimes the motor can not operate at full strength or with small interruptions. In this case, there may be several reasons: air in the supply system (to solve this by using the purge and clean -); it is also the cause of instability can be hang individual items - valves in the cylinder head, plunger or needle which is used in the atomizer. All items must be removed and cleaned. If cleaning has not produced the desired result, replace the new.

Before repairing the tractor T-40 you need to check the fuel line for obstructions, and also to diagnose the pump. Normal motor starting may affect asair filter. With an insufficient amount of air is obtained enriched mixture. The result can be unstable operation of the power unit, as well as increased fuel consumption at relatively low power, unusual for this engine.

Front axle

T-40 front axle plays a very important role, especially when working or movement in off-road conditions. T-40АМ he is the lead, thereby significantly improving traction, as well as the level of cross-country equipment. Main work items:

• Gear;
• Transfer box;
• Differential;
• Suspension;
• End transmission.

T-40АМ main gear consists of two pinions, one of which is leading, and the second at the same time - driven.

The Differential is necessary in order to allow rotation of the wheel at an angle (while overcoming irregularities or at corners), and at different speeds.

Transfer box acts as a binder between the wheels, and drive. The final transmission is set to ensure the reduce the frequency of rotation.

It is important to remember that if you install wheels with a fairly large diameter and is disabled when the front axle may cause the slip of the wheels placed at the rear.
