Renault 92-98, 496-498

In the summer of 1969, the Renault lineup expanded into a larger size category than before. The models introduced at that time, the 94 and 96, with their angular design, set the direction for Renault’s 1970s lineup. Also new was a factory-installed, flat-floor safety cab mounted on rubber cushions, which was standard in the larger model. The 94 was equipped with an air-cooled 3.4-liter MWM engine producing 72 hp. The 96 had a water-cooled 4.2-liter MWM engine with 82 hp. Later that same autumn, a smaller model was added to the lineup. The 92 (62 hp) was also equipped with the 3-cylinder MWM engine used in the 89 model.

In the spring of 1970, the first 6-cylinder Renault tractor was introduced: the 98 (90 hp). The engine was an air-cooled MWM.

The fully synchronized transmission had 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. The 96 and 98 models had a 12" clutch, while the others had an 11" clutch. Power take-off speeds were 540 and 1000 rpm. Lift capacity was 2500 kg. In the autumn of 1970, four-wheel-drive models 496 and 498 were introduced. The front axle was manufactured by ZF. Steering was hydrostatic in the four-wheel-drive models as well as in the 98.
