What kind of gasoline to fill up the single axle tractor Cascade

model range

The model range of motor-block “Cascade” consists of different modifications, different types of engines and, accordingly, the technical characteristics of the device. For example, a single-axle tractor “Cascade MB 1” has 8 horsepower, only one speed backward, can plow up to 1050 mm strip of earth to a depth of 150-300 mm. This unit is based on the single axle tractor “Luch Cascade”, developed in Perm during the Soviet era.

In the last few years the following modifications have been developed:

• MB6-06. single axle tractor “Cascade MB 6” received a powerful gearbox with additional speeds and unlocking of the wheels, but has a standard steering column.
• MB6-08. features an increased speed of up to 10 km/h. This model is the most popular in its niche.
• MB61-12. the speed of this model is even higher than its predecessor. up to 12 km / h, while the model is lighter than the standard by 11 kg. Such monoblocs cost up to 40000.
• MB61-21. this model is equipped with Robin-Subaru EX-21 engine with 211 cm3 cylinder volume. Fuel consumption in this case does not exceed the standard. 1,6 and 1,8 l/h.
• MB61-22. the model is equipped with the Honda GX-200 engine with the standard technical characteristics for these tractors.

How to convert a motor-block engine from 80 to 92 gasoline?

There are 2 proven ways to perform this procedure. It is possible to convert the single-axle tractor not only from 80 gasoline, but also from AI-76 to AI-92. Each of the ways we will describe below in detail.

Setting the ignition advance angle

This way of transformation is easier to demonstrate with the example of UMZ 341 engine, because it is the most universal and is equipped with the same spare parts as the majority of motors for an engine block.

Before you start with the modification, you should replace the spark plug A11-3 with A17B. After that, adjust the advance angle in the following sequence:

• Completely drain the old fuel from the gas tank.
• They start the engine (so that the residual gasoline in the fuel system is completely exhausted).
• Remove the spark plug lug.
• Unscrew the bolts holding the fan guard and remove it.
• Undo flywheel locknut and remove the ratchet.
• Install the flywheel puller. To do this, tighten the central bolt of the puller and after a light hammer blow on it remove the flywheel. Do not strike the flywheel when removing it.
• Find the factory ignition setting mark.
• Use a screwdriver to loosen the magneto mount and turn its base counterclockwise by 2 mm.

Reassemble the engine after completing all actions. Make sure all parts are present and correctly positioned, and tighten all bolts and nuts. Now you can safely fill your single-axle tractor with 92 gasoline, enjoy its work and evaluate the results after the modification.

Increasing engine compression ratio

The method is slightly more complicated than the previous one, requires higher concentration and high precision of execution, so as not to put the technique into operation.

This method consists in grinding the cylinder head, whereby you need to remove a layer of metal no thicker than 2.5 mm. After that the compression of the engine will be increased to 7.8 atmospheres. It is also necessary to replace the spark plugs with new ones, which have a caliber number of at least 17 units.

There is a safer and more accurate way to perform this alteration. Purchase a ready-made set of new cylinder head, pushrod valve rods and install them. But such a replacement will cost money.

The methods described above remodeling power tillers will be suitable for many models of power tillers, including such models as Neva MB1 and MB2, MTZ-05 and MTZ-12, modifications of power tillers brands Agro and Cascade.

Cascade single axle tractor

Multifunctional, light and compact single-axle tractor MB61. MB6 is designed for various works on homestead plots, in gardens and orchards.

single-axle tractor complete with cultivators designed for soil loosening. Equipped with auxiliary implements the single-axis tractor is designed for ploughing, haymaking on small plots, inter-row cultivation, snow-moving, transportation and other agricultural and auxiliary operations. The single-axis tractor is convenient and easy to use. Working with a walking tractor does not require special training, but it should be remembered that certain skills and precautions are necessary for working with each attachment.

There are two varieties of Cascade power tillers:

MB61. models with foreign engines (BriggsStratton, Robin-Subaru)

MB6. models with a domestic engine (DM66, DM68).

Technical characteristics of the MB61 Cascade

Varieties of MB6 Cascade power tillers

Notes: In the unit designation after the general part “MB6” there are the numbers of engine, gearbox, steering.

For example, single axle tractor MB6-08-04-01 consists of 08 series engine, 04 series gearbox, 01 series steering.

Background information on major design features

06 series motor is lubricated by an oil-sprayer. The 08 series motor is lubricated by an oil supply unit.

In the 04 series gearbox, the gearbox output shaft is mounted on needle bearings

Gearboxes of 02, 05, 06, 07 series have an output shaft mounted on ball bearings.

05 and 06 series gearboxes provide reduced speed in the first gear, which gives a number of advantages, for example, when working with a mower and snow blower allows better grass mowing and snow removal.

The gearboxes of 06, 07 series have a mechanism for separating the output shafts, which makes it easier to control the tiller when turning, increases its maneuverability when using it as a vehicle and when cultivating the soil.

The 02 series steering wheel (steering column).

The steering column allows you to adjust the position of the steering wheel in the vertical and horizontal planes.

A mini tractor from a Cascade power tiller

Many owners convert their single axle tractor into a mini tractor, because walking constantly for machinery hard for the feet and gets quickly tired. Much easier to steer from a sitting position.

The easiest way to do this is to buy an adapter. There are many variations of such products from different manufacturers on the web.

If this is too easy for you or if you for some reason do not want to do it, then the single-axle tractor Cascade can be converted and make the tractor assembly with your own hands. But you should start such modification only if you’re sure that you’ll be able to see the beginning to the end.

The best models for the assembly would be Cascade MB 61-21, MB61-22 or with Lifan engine. For these purposes, you will need a lot of engine power, and on older Soviet models it may not be enough.

For the conversion will additionally need:

• A channel of 80 size to create a frame;
• Gearbox and motor (leave it from the power tiller)
• Axle (fits from a Soviet Moskvich);
• Steering mechanism (will fit from VAZ);
• Front beam “pendulum” on the crossbar PAZ;
• Hubs (can be supplied by VAZ).

Before you start assembling, you need to study the photos, diagrams and assembly drawings. On the forums there are a large number of them.

Instead of an adapter or conversion to a mini-tractor, you can use a normal trailer for the movement:

If you want to modernize them for yourself, then you should first describe in detail the kinematic diagram of the connection and the location of parts, and only then proceed to the assembly.

Specifics of the Cascade power harvester

The motorblock is equipped with a variety of motors. All models consist of four basic systems:

• Transmission. Very sturdy, performing a key function. transmitting torque to the wheels from the motor. Also responsible for speed and maneuverability. Basic components of the transmission are clutch, chain reducer, four-speed gearbox. Excellent maneuverability is ensured by front and rear gears;
• Powertrain. Above the oversized bearings is a reinforced gearbox output shaft. This provides resistance to mechanical damage and to the negative effects of various vibrations. Thanks to the specialized belt transmission, it is possible to attach all kinds of canopies;
• Running gear. The frame and its mounted drive wheels and subassemblies. Operator defined wheel spacing. Many models feature reinforced pneumatic wheels with aggressive tread. The manufacturers also provide convenient storage facilities for the equipment on special metal supports. They can be used if it is necessary to stop the single-axle tractor during work;
• Control elements. The system is controlled by the clutch knob, motor, gear pull, steering wheel, power regulator, and carburetor air flap. Handlebar is height-adjustable. The single–axle tractor is easy to control. Easy to operate, key controls are located directly on the handlebar. Adjustable steering column provides comfortable operation, the operator is not very tired, even when working for a long time. Key controls are adapted to fit your personal settings.

After the purchase of a Cascade tractor it is necessary to make a full run-in, check the level of oil and fuel mixture. The machine must not be overloaded to avoid frequent breakdowns.

Operation and maintenance

Further maintenance of machinery in working condition will consist of uncomplicated maintenance, including:

• cleaning and adjustment of the ignition system at the fuel level of 40-50 liters;
• monitoring the operation of the gearbox;
• Checking the oil level in the unit and eliminating leaks;
• Compliance with the established requirements on engine loading and avoiding overheating of the power unit.

In the first year of operation it is not required to monitor the condition of the power tiller. Only after the second year, the owner sometimes has to monitor certain parameters. Serious failures with the Cascade model usually do not occur within the first 3-4 years. Simple design and detailed description of the device in the manual allow the owner to replace most of the elements by himself. Difficulties with the search and purchase of spare parts again usually do not arise. They are available in a wide range from dealers and in specialized stores at a very reasonable price. Work with the technique requires no special training, but in the presence of mounted or driven equipment, it is better to carefully study the instructions and the principle of operation.

Running in of the Oka with a Lifan engine (Lifan), etc.

Please note that the first 30 hours of your power tiller is a warm-up period, do not overload it during this period.

Cultivate the soil in 2-3 stages at a depth of up to 10 cm for 1 pass.

Do not use the throttle lever for more than two-thirds of its travel.

Do not overload the single axle tractor with clay soils for a long time (more than 2 hours).

Do not start work with your power tiller without checking the oil level in the engine casing and gearbox.

Non-compliance with the above instructions may result in damage to the connecting rod and piston group, engine jamming and increased gearbox wear of your power tiller.

single axle tractor consists of the following main parts:

5) two wheels (or four cultivators).

Running in of the new engine of the OKA motoblock:

A new engine should not be operated at full load immediately. During the initial period of operation the engine must have a preliminary run-in period, which is necessary for break-in of friction parts.

Working at full power without a break-in period may cause fast wear of friction surfaces, seizure, galling and damage. That’s why a new engine needs a lot of attention and special care during the initial period of its operation.

Run-in time of the engine must be at least 30-60 hours.

During the run-in period observe the following rules

It is important to pay attention to the period after the running-in period, or more precisely on the first maintenance. As long as the single axle tractor and engine are new, the oil in engine and gearbox should be changed more often and its level should be checked.

Purpose

The essence is quite simple: a miniature tractor with one axle till the ground, using a variety of auxiliary equipment. In our country, power tillers have been widely used since the 1980s. The designers are diligent in their approach. As a result, a Cascade power tiller can be operated with a minimum of physical and mental effort. It is capable of:

• to plant various crops;
• assist in the care of flowerbeds and seedbeds;
• gathering fruit;
• Weed control;
• to pick up trash;
• Collect and remove snow;
• Carry a variety of loads needed in the backyard, and so on.

The Cascade power tillers are available in a wide range of different modifications. Thanks to this, they can be used on agricultural plots of different sizes. If used properly, Cascade power tillers can last for a long period of time. However, it is necessary to know how to properly maintain and repair these machines.

If you have purchased a Cascade single axle tractor, you should study the operating instructions before operating.

If you purchased this machine from the factory it is a must have as standard, if you bought it off hand, then ask the old owner to provide the manual for the Cascade power tiller. However, this is a book that sometimes tends to get lost. Now you can find the electronic version of the manual on the Internet.

1964 Fordson Tractor Gas (Petrol)

Here are a few facts that those who have this equipment should definitely know.

Oil and Fuel

Every owner should know what oil and fuel his single-axle Cascade tractor works with.

No matter what kind of engine you have (Russian-made or Chinese Lifan) it is necessary to use only high-quality pure fuel AI-92 or AI-95. Old or dirty gasoline should not be used. It can clog up the fuel system.

The fuel intake from the tank is not at the bottom, but slightly above. This prevents dirt and dust from getting further into the carburetor and it just settles to the bottom.

Changing the oil in the engine of a Cascade motorblock:

According to the instructions for use, it is recommended to use Soviet GOST oils. However, the time of the USSR has passed, and now you can find better quality imported motor oils with improved characteristics. You can use 15W-40 oils in the summertime and 10W-40 semi-synthetic oils in the wintertime.

Change oil after every 20 hours of operation of your Cascade power tiller.

The situation with the transmission is similar. The manufacturer recommends using Soviet TAP-15v or TAD-17i. But you can use 75W-90 or 80W-90 instead.

To change transmission oil, tilt single axle tractor rearward and pull plug. You should change oil after every 20 hours of operation with a container to catch the drainage. The exhaust is very harmful to the soil, so it should not be poured out there.

Lubricate the control levers with Lithol or Solidol.

Initial start-up and running-in

The correct starting procedure is critical for later successful use of your power tool. And an important step is the running-in.

These are the first hours of operation of a new machine. It is the first few hours of your new machine’s life. It is the way the machine parts rub against each other and fit snugly into the grooves so you should not put too much strain on it. The maximum load should be half of the maximum power. Otherwise parts can fail before the machine is fully operational.

If you are the first owner of a Cascade power tiller, pour oil into the crankcase! It is not included in the factory set. And if you forget to add oil, there is excessive friction and components will fail all over again.

As Cascade motor blocks are representatives of the professional family, the purchase of the owner expects his long work and assistance in agricultural work, and do not forget about the running-in before start-up.

Main breakdowns

Cascade motor-blocks have gained huge popularity due to a large number of compatible attachments and easy repairability. Almost all parts of equipment can be adjusted and repaired without problems.

The most popular cause of failure of parts is their natural wear and tear. In order for the single axle tractor to last a long time, it is necessary to make adjustments and regular scheduled inspections.

Major malfunctions include:

• Problems with spark plugs (contact has come loose, the gap has changed, oxidized)
• Lack of oil (check oil level before each trip);
• The gasket on the cylinder is worn;
• Dirt and debris have entered the fuel system (so gasoline is not flowing into the carburetor);
• The chain or belt tension on the pulley has changed (resulting in a change in torque).

Let’s consider the main breakdowns and ways of their repair in more detail.

The main causes of such behavior are worn friction bearings, lack of transmission oil or low quality. The first thing to try is to change the oil in the driveline for a new one. If that didn’t work, then disassemble the transmission and look at the condition of the bearings. Most likely, one of them is out of order.

If the engine is running steadily and the Cascade slips and slides, look at the condition of the tread on the wheels. Most likely, it’s worn out. It is not permissible to work on tires that are too worn out. If there is nothing wrong with the treads, it could be due to different pressures in the wheels. And because of this, the single axle tractor will constantly drive to one side and behave incorrectly.

Such a nuance is caused by incorrect connection of the linkage or its incomplete fixation. Always check bolt connections and tightness before use.

Here there can be several problems at once:

• Initially, conduct a visual inspection for damage;
• If all is well, check the gasoline in the tank (it should be over half full and of good quality);
• If the single axle tractor is parked on a sloping surface, set it on a level surface;
• Check the entire fuel system, and whether fuel is flowing through the entire mower line;
• Inspect the ignition system, and if the spark is flowing;
• Check carburetor operation and try to adjust fuel mixture.
