Introduction

J.I. Case 2290 Row-Crop Tractor

The J.I. Case 2290 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1979 and 1983 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. Designed for heavy agricultural operations, this model served as a core component of the Case tractor lineup during the early 1980s.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 504 cubic-inch (8.3 L) 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It features liquid cooling with a 36-liter capacity and a compression ratio of 15.75:1. The engine is rated at 2100 RPM, providing a power output of 143 horsepower. The air intake system utilizes dual paper elements with an aspirator for efficient filtration.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The 2290 offers two transmission configurations: a standard 8-speed (8 forward, 4 reverse) or a 12-speed partial power shift (12 forward, 3 reverse). The drivetrain supports either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations, managed by hydrostatic power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system is of the closed-center type, delivering a pump flow of 21 gpm (79.5 lpm) through two valves. The independent rear PTO provides dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, allowing for versatile implement operation. A Type II rear hitch is included as standard equipment.

Operator Environment and Dimensions

The tractor is equipped with the Silent Guardian cab, which includes air conditioning and a four-post ROPS structure. It measures 175.5 inches (445 cm) in length with a cab height of 115 inches (292 cm) and provides 16 inches (40 cm) of ground clearance. The machine typically operates on 10.00-16 front and 18.4-34 rear agricultural tires.

Conclusion

The J.I. Case 2290 is a robust row-crop tractor tailored for mid-to-large scale agricultural tasks. Its combination of a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, partial power shift transmission, and climate-controlled cabin made it a standard-setting machine for field work during its production era.
