Mahindra CJ-500 D
1975 - 1989
Specifications:
CJ 500D was the first vehicle with a Diesel engine in the Mahindra Jeeps range.
Mahindra's tractor division was manufacturing International Harvester B275 tractors. These tractors were fitted with BD-144 diesel engines. This engine is adopted for utility vehicles. Initially the BD-144 diesel engine were fitted in Mahindra CJ4A jeeps and introduced as Mahindra CJ 500D. This engine is popularly known as international engine, which is used in Mahindra tractors.
The CJ 500D of 1975 was the first Mahindra Jeeps to be factory fitted with a Diesel engine. The MD2350 Diesel Engine with 3-speed gearbox had 38 hp, rather than the 72 hp of the Hurricane Petrol Engine. This pushed Mahindra to look for better & more powerful engine options. In spite of the lack of power, the CJ500D became one of the most wanted utility vehicle and the rural workhorse of India for the next 35 years, and finally ended up as the Mahindra Major. The MD2450, 2.5 liter diesel engine with 3-speed T90 Warner gearbox appeared in the CJ 500DE in 1989, replacing the earlier model. This version still has 38 hp (28 kW) at 2,300 rpm. It has a Spicer T18 2-speed Transfer Case.
In 1991 the engine was updated to the direct injected 40 hp (30 kW) MD2500 in the model named CJ 500DI. This was renamed CL 500 DI in 1994 after the end of the agreement with the Chrysler Corporation in 1994); CL stands for Civilian Legend.
