ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case 1896 tractor features a robust CDC turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine with a 5.9L displacement, delivering efficient power at a rated RPM of 2100, and a high compression ratio of 17.5:1, leading to enhanced torque characteristics. Its dual dry element air cleaner ensures optimal air filtration, which can prolong engine life in challenging dust conditions. However, the relatively high oil and coolant capacities (16 quarts and 22 quarts) may require careful monitoring for maintenance and operation efficiency, particularly in rigorous agricultural settings.

J.I. CASE 1896 ENGINE
The J.I. Case 1896 tractor is powered by a CDC 5.9L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust torque for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its mechanical simplicity may facilitate maintenance, although the lack of modern electronic controls could present challenges in terms of fuel efficiency and emissions compliance. Ideal for traditional farming operations, its durability and ease of repair are significant advantages in remote areas where parts availability may be a concern.

TRANSMISSION
The J.I. Case 1896 tractor features a three-speed power shift transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, allowing for flexible speed selection across various operational scenarios. With an oil capacity of 100 quarts (94.6L), it supports efficient lubrication and cooling, essential for prolonged use. A notable limitation is that reverse gear is inoperable in the fourth range, potentially impacting maneuverability during heavier tasks when high range is required.

J.I. CASE 1896 TIRES
The J.I. Case 1896 tractor comes with either a 2WD or 4WD configuration, allowing flexibility in application. The 2WD option features standard agricultural tires with larger rear tires (18.4-38) suited for traction in field operations, while the 4WD variant enhances stability and off-road capabilities, particularly in uneven terrain. Consider the operational terrain when choosing between 2WD for lighter tasks and 4WD for enhanced grip and power distribution in challenging conditions.
