Proper engine speed for a 60 and 70

JDMAN60 · Aug 2, 2017

What are the proper idle and hi ( no load ) engine speeds for the 60 and 70 tractors? The manual is kinda confusing.

according to my source (Mr Thinker's Almanac) 975 is the rated rpm for both tractors.

That 975 rpm sounds like rated speed under load.

Fast idle ( wide open no load ) should be a little higher. 1050 or 1100 ? I'd have to read up on them.

slow idle is around 500 rpm ?

Fast idle, no load speed is 1115 rpm. Slow idle speed is supposed to be 600 rpm. I usually set them a little slower than that. The 975 rpm setting is rated speed, load applied. Mike
