Case-IH MX 80C specs: hp, weight, years

PERKINS-FASTRAM 1004-40 Turbo-HR four-cylinder diesel or Perkins 1004-4T HR. The manufacturer claimed 82.9 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 1930 measured 67.9 hp at the PTO of the MX 80C (4 WD). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 67.1 hp — 19.1% below the claim.
