J.I. Case GmbH A family – tractors from the Neuss works: models 433 and 940, three- and four-cylinder diesel engines of 26 to 53 kW, 2,115 to 2,915 kg

J.I. Case GmbH continued the former International Harvester works in Neuss, which after Case's takeover of IH's farm-machinery division in 1985 belonged to the new Case IH brand; the register here covers two models from this plant, listed as the so-called A family, with the 433 and 940 types. Both belong to the light-to-medium universal tractor class built at the Neuss site for the European market over several decades.

The register lists here 2 versions with 26 to 53 kW from three- to four-cylinder diesel engines of 2,539 to 3,911 cm³ displacement, weights from 2,115 to 2,915 kg, lengths from 3,390 to 3,820 mm, widths from 1,644 to 1,990 mm, heights from 2,280 to 2,410 mm and rated speeds from 2,050 to 2,300 rpm.

As products of the Neuss works, these tractors competed in the European mid-range segment with vehicles from Fendt, Deutz-Fahr and Massey Ferguson, aimed at farms looking for a solid, service-friendly universal tractor for field and yard work.

Buying one of these models used, the condition and tightness of the engine and hydraulics, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, and rust on the mudguards, bonnet and cab all matter. Spare parts run through today's Case IH dealer network, which secures supply for the models that came from the Neuss works across much of Europe.

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 the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • 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.
