Case IH Engines – “Simply Powerful” (Original Factory Brochure PDF)
Price: $5.00
When Case IH partnered with Cummins in 1980 to form the Consolidated Diesel Company (CDC), it reshaped the future of agricultural diesel power. This rare “Simply Powerful” brochure captures that exact moment—the launch of the all-new Family I and Family II engine lines, spanning 50 to 250 horsepower and designed to usher Case IH into a new era of efficiency, reliability, and modern engineering.
This brochure blends bold styling with highly technical content, showcasing how Case IH and Cummins rethought diesel engine design from the block outward. From computer-modeled stress analysis to simplified servicing and reduced part counts, these engines were engineered to outperform anything Case—or its competitors—had ever built.
Inside this high-quality PDF, you’ll find:
A Bold New Approach to Diesel Power
On page 2, Case IH explains why traditional engines had become bulky “add-ons” to modern machinery—and how the CDC partnership allowed a fresh start built around compactness, fuel efficiency, and adaptability.
The brochure highlights Case IH’s massive $355 million investment in CDC, resulting in a fully modern automated engine plant producing cutting-edge diesels.
Engineering Innovations in Detail
The center spread (page 3) features a full cutaway illustration identifying dozens of engineering upgrades, including:
Parent-metal cylinder bores for rigidity and leak reduction
Forged trapezoid connecting rods for lower piston stress
Wide cam lobes, steel-backed bearings, and hardened crankshafts
In-block water pump and integrated plate-fin oil cooler for better cooling and long life
Built-in piston oil jets, optimized combustion ports, and short exhaust paths for turbocharger efficiency
Poly-Vee belt drive with automatic tensioner—tripling belt life compared to conventional systems
These design choices meant Case IH achieved 25% fewer parts than competitors, easier servicing, longer intervals, and dramatically reduced downtime.
Field-Tested Power Across Agriculture & Construction
Case IH tested the new engines for over five years, meeting emerging SAE J1349 power standards and global emissions requirements.
The 5.9L turbo engine debuted in the 1896 and 2096 tractors, delivering 95–115 PTO horsepower with standout fuel economy.
The 3- and 4-cylinder engines powered skid steers, loader/backhoes, combines, and cotton pickers, with modular parts and consistent architecture across the lineup.
