Case Powershift

I am wanting to build a Case super farm and am looking at tractors to purchase. I saw a 1070 for a good price but it is a powershift. I am curious as to how a Case powershift would perform or if I should just look elsewhere. |

There are lots of people out there who would be better qualified to answer your question than me, but I noticed that you had not received a response. My opinion has nothing to do with the Case powershift being a "good" or "bad" transmission, but it goes away from what other pullers are doing and simply stated it will not be a good option for you. The guys that typically run Case tractors have the 8 speed manuals in them. The 30-series is supposed to be good and the 70-series is probably a little better. Once you start getting serious and making some horsepower be prepared to have some custom gears installed. Like anything else, if you throw enough money at a problem (that powershift) maybe you could get around the issues that would be encountered, but it'll always be cost prohibitive. What are your plans for the engine? Probably a built 504? Nothing wrong with a 504 if done properly, but do some research on the cam and valve train as the factory cam is brittle/weak. I hope this is a project you are serious about. A Case tractor can be competitive, but you're going to need to find someone that is experienced and willing to help. Edited 1 time(s).

Thank you that is a big help. I'm right now trying to collect as much information as I can before I begin to pour in money. I do not know a whole lot about Case tractors since I have been around Internationals my whole life. I want to build a super farm but to be honest I am tired of seeing all of these International 1066's being the only tractors against the John Deeres. I have seen many competitive Case tractors and since they bought out IH I would not be betraying my color so to say. I don't know too much about what I can get out of the engines. I don't know how many cubic inches I could get by boring out a 401 or 410 but a 504 is probably the best one to go to. I had no idea about the brittle cam but I am learning every day. There are a few super farm pullers near me as well as Tom Harmon and Pat Jenuine that build them but none are Case. |

Only way to go is an 8 speed rear end. If your looking to build a super farm I might have some descent parts for you at a reasonable budget. When it comes to Cas parts I deal only with Karl Kaun and he has never steered me wrong. Would be happy to talk with you a bit about your project if you like to give me a call. 908/296/1632. |

Go with a 30 series rear end with an 8 speed trans. The PowerShift won't hold up much more the farm stock hp and are really costly to repair. There are some case tractors starting to come around |

Did the 70 series come with the 8 speed manual at all? I like the looks of the 70 series best and I just want a tractor that I could build up as time goes by. Right now I ddon't have the budget to build a grand national points champion tractor but a good regional competitor. I would settle for stock sheet metal and even stock front end if the hydrostatic would hold up. I know a custom front end and steering system is best for safety purposes. |

Some 9-1070, all 1170 and 1175, and even some 20-2290's were 8 speeds. |

Some 870's were 8 speed too. |

Do not waste your time with a powershift. I did but changed over to 8 speed with triple disc clutch. when you pass 300hp with 970-1070 powershift you are on borrowed time.Also cant powershift wont come out of hole smooth. 573 789 0161 |

Don't waste your time on power shift, 30 series rear ends are more plentyful but 70 series has a better shift basket.each brand has it's own little clicks, but the Case can be made to run with any of them. Fuel and air, doesn't matter what color the block. |
