Engine Type:
Diesel (Specific engine families likely include Case/IH AD3.152, BD3.152, or similar Perkins/Cummins engines common in this era. Precise variants depend on model and region).
Horsepower Range:
Estimated range based on model: 385 (approx. 35-45 HP), 485 (approx. 45-55 HP), 585 (approx. 55-65 HP), 685 (approx. 65-75 HP), 885 (approx. 80-90 HP). Specific figures vary by sub-model and configuration.
Torque Curve:
Detailed torque specifications and performance curves would be within the manual.
Injection System:
Likely direct injection with rotary or inline fuel injection pumps. Specifics depend on the engine variant.
Gearbox Type:
Manual transmission, likely with multiple gear ranges (e.g., 8-speed or 12-speed synchromesh, possibly with a creeper gear option).
Optional Gearbox:
Some models may have offered powershift or shuttle shift options depending on the specific variant and market.
Transmission Features:
Features such as differential lock, independent PTO, and live PTO are common for this series.
Infotainment System:
Basic analogue gauges and indicators. No electronic infotainment systems typically found on these models.
Driver Assistance Features:
No electronic driver assistance features. Focus is on mechanical and hydraulic operation.

Hydraulic Oil Change:
Annual or 500-hour intervals for hydraulic fluid and filter changes, depending on usage and environment.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
Commonly SAE 15W-40 API CD or CE rated oil for diesel engines. Manual will specify exact grade and API service classification.
Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Typically a universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) or specialized hydraulic fluid meeting Case IH specifications (e.g., HYTRAN). Manual will specify exact fluid type and viscosity.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze mixed with distilled water, typically a 50/50 ratio. Manual will provide specific concentration and type.
Common Wear Items:
Wear on clutch plates, PTO components, hydraulic pump seals, and fuel injection components are common with age and usage.
Electrical Problems:
Wiring harness degradation, starter issues, and alternator problems can occur due to age and exposure.
Engine Performance:
Potential for power loss due to fuel system issues, clogged air filters, or worn injectors.
Manufacturer:
Case IH (International Harvester prior to merger).
Series Era:
These models were part of the 'XL' series or similar compact/utility tractor lines produced from the late 1970s through the 1980s and into the early 1990s, representing a significant evolution in utility tractor design for Case IH.
Manufacturing Region:
Primarily manufactured in Europe (e.g., Doncaster, UK) and potentially North America.
