Case IH C-Baureihe
5 models in this series
Case IH C series (1997–2001) – the Steyr twins from St. Valentin for the lower mid-range: C 42 to C 70, the number as hp class, A for four-wheel drive, Perkins three-cylinders of 2.4 to 3.1 litres, 31 to 52 kW
The C series was Case IH's answer to the class under 70 hp in Europe – compact utility tractors that came from the St. Valentin plant in Austria after Case's takeover of Steyr in 1996 and were technically the twins of the Steyr 900 M range: the same three-cylinders, the same gearboxes, only in red. The type logic: C marks the range, the number the hp class – C 42 about 42 hp, C 48 about 48, C 55 about 55, C 64 about 64, C 70 about 70 hp – A four-wheel drive. The engines are Perkins three-cylinders of the 1003 and 1004 series (the 1004.42 in the register) of 2.4 to 3.1 litres at 2,300 to 2,400 rpm, with approval for rapeseed methyl ester as the register notes; the transmissions are synchromesh gearboxes with shuttle and optional creeper gears, the cab the plain Steyr version.

The register lists 5 versions with 30.9 to 51.5 kW from three-cylinders of 2,356 to 3,117 cm³, torque from 147 to 209 Nm, unladen weights from 2,310 to 3,060 kg, lengths from 3,290 to 3,805 mm, widths from 1,740 to 2,070 mm and heights from 2,260 to 2,425 mm.
The C series was the tractor of grassland and part-time farms in Austria, Bavaria and Switzerland, where the Steyr kinship secures parts supply; in 2001 the CS series followed in the same logic.
On used tractors, operating hours, Perkins engine and injection pump, clutch and shuttle, four-wheel-drive clutch on A models, hydraulics and sheet metal count; parts run through CNH, Steyr dealers and Perkins.
