Engine Model:
Likely a Case 4-cylinder diesel engine (e.g., 4.236 or similar variant from Perkins, often used by Case in this era).
Horsepower Approximate:
Approximately 70-80 HP (power take-off rating), depending on specific configuration and engine tuning.
Torque Approximate:
Torque specifications vary, but generally in the range of 180-200 lb-ft.
Injection System:
Likely a rotary or inline injection pump system (e.g., CAV, Bosch).
Transmission Type:
Constant mesh gearbox, typically with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears (or variations like 12x4 with creeper).
Transmission Options:
Optional Multi-Power (a two-speed powershift unit integrated into the transmission) may be available on some models.
Pto:
Standard 540 RPM Power Take-Off (PTO), with potential for 1000 RPM PTO as an option.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 250 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Specific interval depends on operating conditions.
Air Filter Replacement:
As needed based on operating environment; check daily for dust accumulation.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
At major service intervals, or when fuel system issues are suspected.
Engine Oil:
API CD or CE rated diesel engine oil, SAE 15W-40 recommended for most climates. Check manual for specific viscosity.
Hydraulic Transmission Fluid Hta:
Case IH Hy-Tran Ultra or equivalent UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) meeting MS-1209 specifications. Capacity around 10-12 gallons.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze/coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water for freeze protection and corrosion inhibition.
Common Problems:
Potential issues can include wear in the transmission synchronizers, hydraulic pump performance degradation, and electrical connection corrosion over time.
Typical Repairs:
Clutch adjustments or replacement, seal leaks in the drivetrain or hydraulics, starter motor issues, and cooling system repairs.
Manufacturer History:
Case IH, a long-standing manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment with a rich history dating back to the 19th century.
Model Context:
The 885 was part of Case International's '80' series tractors, popular in the 1980s, succeeding earlier models and being a workhorse for medium-sized farms.
Production Era:
Produced primarily in the 1980s.
