Section III.  PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 1-14.  POWER TRAIN Power   for   the   HET   Tractor   is   generated   by   a   two-stroke,   V-type   diesel   engine   coupled   directly   to   an   automatic transmission.  The engine is rated at 500 brake horsepower. The engine is equipped with an electronic control system that regulates fuel delivery to each injector as well as governing engine  speed  for  power  takeoff  operation.    Engine  sensors  and  engine  performance  can  be  checked  using  a  plug-in diagnostic reader. Power  from  the  engine  drive  shaft  transmits  torque  that  is  multiplied  for  greater  drive  power  by  a  torque  converter  when needed. Five  forward  drive  ranges  can  be  manually  selected,  depending  on  the  terrain  and  conditions.    The  transmission  will automatically downshift as engine speed and throttle position change. When  the  lockup  clutch  is  automatically  applied,  power  is  transmitted  mechanically  through  the  lockup  clutch.    A  direct drive is engaged from the engine to a converter turbine shaft. Power  from  the  transmission  is  directed  to  the  transfer  case  and  propeller  shafts  forward  and  rear.    The  front  and  rear tridem  axles  are  each  equipped  with  planetary  wheel  ends.    In  low  range,  driver-controlled  lockouts  in  the  differentials provide positive drive to all four axles. 1-4
