ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case 2096 tractor features a robust 5.9L CDC turbocharged diesel engine with a significant compression ratio of 16.5:1, resulting in efficient fuel combustion and high torque output. With a displacement of 359ci and a rated RPM of 2100, it is well-suited for demanding agricultural tasks, although operators should be mindful of the idle RPM range (800-2250) to avoid potential stalling during low-load conditions. The dual paper element air cleaner enhances filtration, crucial for maintaining engine longevity in dusty environments, while the 16-qts oil and 22-qts coolant capacities facilitate easier maintenance management.

TRANSMISSION
The J.I. Case 2096 tractor features a three-speed power shift transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, providing versatile operation across various terrains. With an oil capacity of 100 quarts (94.6L), it supports optimal lubrication and cooling for extended usage, but users should note that reverse is inoperable in range four, potentially limiting maneuverability in tight spaces in this gear. This tractor is advantageous for heavy-duty tasks but requires careful planning during operations requiring reverse in higher ranges.
| Type | three-speed power shift |
| Gears | 12 forward and 3 reverse |
| Oil capacity | 100qts / 94.6L |
| Description | Three power shift gears, plus reverse, in four ranges. Reverse is not operable in range four. |
