6060, 6070 and 6080

6060 Used the Fiat 780 transmission.  6070 and 6080 Used the Fiat 980 transmission.  Some Ford/New Holland tractors also used the same transmission and rear end, so parts should not be a problem. Haven't had to touch my 6080 , but it's a great tractor.  Mine dynos at 108 hp.

A couple of the Hesston tractors had a transmission common with the 6080 as well. The last batch of parts, well they thought a lot of them. One would think as many as they are around the world someone in the aftermarket would pick up on them a they have others. 

This has been covered before, but the 6080 faired very well in testing. They put a lot of hours in testing in a hurry. The thrust brg issue arose due to the large clutch plus the PTO clutch that had had to be depressed along with the trans clutch to start. The compression ration was dropped for engine life. The issue arose during the cold winter, harder starting and longer cranking time combine with the thrust load of the new bigger clutch and the results was a failure of the thrust bearing. There was an attempt to put in grooved brgs to put extra lube during cranking, but the load was just too great long term. The parent engine 2200 and 2800 2900 had no such issues because of the better cranking and less thrust loads. The solution was to install a front external thrust bearing to bear the load. This fixed the issue but the owners were not instructed as to the necessity to lube the bearing and periodically check the clearance which was shim adjusted. Then the roll pin locater started fracturing. This was replaced by a dowel pin. Since many years back all pistons are of the origional compression ratio.  Later engines had a different crankshaft with a double thrust area and thrust bearings that were double width as well. All this will fit in the old blocks as long as the main saddle of the block is filed down to allow the bearing to seat.  The F2/3's were rated at 95 hp - the later units with bosch injectors pushed 110 hp easily with little smoke using these engine as in the 6080s. Another after thought, I remember the cranks were shot peened in the fillet radius as well - the 6060 and 6070 were not - the only difference was the intercooler delete and less fuel.
