Case IH – other models: the collective page of tractors outside the named ranges, from the 94 series (1494, 1694, 3594) through the 585 and 885 to the Farmall D35, DX26 and the JX range, 19 to 136 kW

This page gathers the Case IH tractors the register could not assign to a named range – from the 94 series (1494, 1694, 3594) of the International Harvester era through the 585 and 885 utility tractors in four-wheel-drive, orchard and row-crop versions to the compact Farmall D35 and DX26 and the JX models built in India. Case IH was formed in 1985 from the merger of International Harvester's agricultural division with Case and has belonged to CNH Industrial, headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin, since 1999; the 94 series was still built to International Harvester engineering in Neuss and Doncaster, while the compact Farmall and JX models come from the group's Indian manufacturing.

The register lists here 14 versions with 19 to 136 kW (26 to 182 hp) from three- to six-cylinders of 2,930 to 5,883 cm³, torque from 295 to 427 Nm at 2,100 to 2,850 rpm, with engines from Case IH, Case, Shibaura, Iveco, Valmet and MWM.

Case IH ranks alongside John Deere, New Holland and Fendt among the leading full-line makers of western farm equipment; the compact Farmall and JX models target small and part-time farms and municipal users, while the 585 and 885 served as utility tractors for medium-sized operations.

On used examples of the 94 series and the 585/885, the condition of hydraulics, clutch and gearbox and rust on bodywork and cab count, on the Farmall and JX compacts operating hours and the condition of the loader mount and electronics; parts run through the CNH network, on older models partly only through independent suppliers.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
  • Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
