JI Case 1896 (DT) and 2096 (DT) – six-cylinder four-wheel-drive tractors of the 96 range from Racine: turbo-diesel engines of 69.9 to 85.1 kW, 493 to 542 Nm, 5,375 to 5,386 kg

The 96 range from J.I. Case of Racine, Wisconsin, includes here the 1896 (DT) and 2096 (DT) types; the DT suffix stands for Dual Traction, the engageable four-wheel drive of these powerful farm tractors. The number sequence orders the models within the range by power, with the 2096 the stronger of the two.

The register lists here 2 versions with 69.9 to 85.1 kW from six-cylinder diesel engines of 5,884 cm³ displacement, torques from 493 to 542 Nm at a rated speed of 2,100 rpm, weights from 5,375 to 5,386 kg, a length of 4,343 mm, a width of 2,567 mm and a height of 2,997 mm.

With a six-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive, the Case 96-series tractors occupied the upper power segment of North American arable farming and competed directly with the large four-wheel-drive models from John Deere and International Harvester; typical use was on large Midwest farms with heavy demand for pulling power for heavy cultivation implements.

Buying one of these powerful four-wheel-drive tractors used, the condition of the turbocharger and injection system, the tightness of the engine and hydraulics, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, and play in the front axle and four-wheel-drive clutch all matter. Spare parts run through today's Case IH dealer network, which as legal successor secures supply for this range.

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.
