The case trany is very misunderstood and bashed unnecessarily. They are very reliable, better than many like the IH ta. The shortcoming is that you need to maintain them and use Hytran oil. But one said they don't take abuse well which is not true, they handle hard use much better than most. And the John Deere guys like to bad mouth them, but one of them made his living for years working on jds and never calls them lemons, another just spent all winter trying to get a couple jds field worthy and doesn't call them lemons either. My dad bought a 970 new in 76 and my brother still has it and I'm sure it has over 10k hours on a mechanical tach and the trany has never been touched. It was always the main horse on the dairy and used hard. The most common cause of failure is using incorrect oil and loosing the relief valves from the oil filter when changing them. The 18/2096 are just the 20/2290 rear with a 5.9 Cummins on the front. Great tractors, but case guys were not as impressed because that smaller Cummins just doesn't have the awesome lugging power the case 504 in the 20/2290 had. Still great motors tho.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
