Case IH 1290 Tractor Parts

The Case IH 1290 was part of the Case IH line produced after the merger of Case and International Harvester. Produced from 1985 to 1987, the 1290 aimed to provide a versatile tractor for small to medium-sized farms. It featured a 3.9L (239 cu in) 4-cylinder diesel engine manufactured by Iveco, delivering approximately 72 engine horsepower. The transmission was typically a mechanical gear transmission offering multiple speeds forward and reverse, providing adequate control for different field conditions. The PTO horsepower was rated at around 65 HP, with a standard 540 RPM PTO. Hydraulic capacity was sufficient for operating implements, with typically around 9 GPM flow, often equipped with at least two remote valves. It had a Category II 3-point hitch suitable for a range of implements used in row crop operations, hay production, and livestock management. The 1290 differentiated itself with its straightforward mechanical design, prioritizing durability and ease of maintenance over advanced electronic features found in later models. It was a solid, dependable tractor for general farm tasks, especially valued for its fuel efficiency and manageable size.
