Transmission and chassis of the tractor
Like all other ChTZ bulldozers, the T-170 tractor is equipped withmechanical multi-stage transmission. The clutch on the model is provided for permanently closed dry friction. Shockless gear shifting is ensured by the fact that during the brake pedal, the friction lining comes into contact with the release bearing housing, stopping the upper shaft of the box.
You can remove the clutch from this tractor without dismantling the diesel engine and the upper half of the casing. Actually the gearbox of the model itself has as many as eight speeds (4 forward and 4 reverse). Two gearbox options can be installed on the tractor, depending on whether the design provides for a power take-off shaft and creeper or not.
The undercarriage of the bulldozer has caterpillar carts with five rollers. Sometimes a seven-roller version is also used on this model. Bog walkers are usually equipped with such carts.

Model cab

The T-170 cab is located above the transmission on a special vibration-proof platform. A large glass area provides the driver with a good overview during work. In the basic model, the cabin, among other things, is equipped with heating and a forced ventilation system. Installation of air conditioning in the cabin is optional.
