MTZ T - 150 K (1:43, Start Scale Models)

The information is right.
T-150K is a Soviet agricultural energy-loaded wheeled tractor of general purpose, produced by the Kharkov Tractor Plant named after Sergo Ordzhonikidze. At the same time, the agricultural, energy-saturated caterpillar tractor of general purpose T-150 is maximally unified with it. They differ in running systems, turning mechanisms, frames, gearboxes (unified by elements) and control systems. The creation of a family of wheeled and caterpillar tractors unified among themselves proved to be a very difficult task. Now along this path follows the famous firm John Deere (for example, John Deere 8120 and John Deere 8120T ). Historically, the wheel variant (T-150K) of the tractor was made earlier and got much more widespread. The T-150K tractor is a modernization of the T-125 tractor, the design of which is completely original and has no predecessors. In 1979, the T-150K tractor was successfully tested at the international test site of the University of Nebraska, USA. The T-150K tractor has been produced for more than forty years, several upgrades have taken place, the technical specifications given in the article refer to 1975. On the tractor T-150K engine is located in front. It clamps to the clutch, gearbox and transfer case, two output shafts that are connected by cardan gears with conical main gears installed in the rear and front axles. (Cardan gear to the rear axle contains an intermediate support). The differentials of the main gears are connected to the planetary final drives, on which the wheels with brakes are installed. The drive from the engine to the independent rear PTO is ensured by the shaft passing inside the tubular shafts of the clutch, the gearbox and the transfer case, and then the cardan transmission with the intermediate support. The intermediate supports ensure the alignment of the axes of symmetry of the double forks of the cardan shafts with the axis of the vertical hinge, which makes it possible to make the angles of the cardan gears minimal when turning the tractor. The tractor is rotated by two hydraulic cylinders, which unfold the half-frames with respect to the vertical hinge. To clean the deck of the only aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in the Russian Navy, the T-150K tractor is used, on which the MiG-15 fighter engine is installed. The task of this unit, called TM-59, is to clean the deck of foreign objects by blowing a jet from a jet engine
