Case 956XL questions

Diarmaidcampbell · Apr 24, 2015

Hello I'm new to this. Bought myself a Case 956xl recently and want a little more power. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the best turbo I could get for this machine and where I would get it (Internet or anywhere). Also wanted to know if anyone could help me out with where I could get plastic side extensions on the rear mudguard. Impossible to find! Any help would be appreciated!

This is the tractor.

search Intertrac uk, a Shropshire company who sell available parts, they would also give advice on a turbo, however my advice on a tractor of that age is not to turbo it, and certainly don't do it if she is on high hours, if you must, give the engine block a thorough flushing and have the flow on the radiator checked, blocked internal tubes will reduce cooling efficiency on older machines, if the flow is low then consider re-coring the radiator, fit a new thermostat and make sure the fan is in good order, the purpose being to maximize heat exchange to cope with extra heat generated by turbo charging, a large percentage on engine failures are due to overheating

Bolt a 1056 turbo and manifold on off a breaker and give the pump a few clicks. As long as you don't go silly and the tractor is properly serviced and in good health, you should be fine. If you want a chunk more power, you should have bought something else!

I know that but I have always been in love with these tractors! Thanks anyway!

Cheers mate, I'll give that a go, low hours on tractor and just after full service but I'll go through what you said there and give that a go!

Sometimes less is more and keep it original?
Nice tractor either way .............

The 1056 didn't have a turbo as standard, it used the same D-358 engine as the 956. It was the 1255 that had the DT-358 engine

I know - many had turbochargers fitted later, though. It was a more common 1056 fitment than 956, hence the likelihood of finding a kit on a breaker.

Don't try and out tractor-spod me, bucko!

Local contractor had a 956xl turbo. Had a mesh insert on top of bonet to aid cooling. Used to chop with a jag 75. Loved that outfit

I always assumed they were turboed. What made them whistle? Lovely sounding engine

jamesy · Apr 26, 2015

Baffles in the exhaust I think, plus having a sweeeeeet engine

Might have been a good engine in a tractor, but it was rubbish in a Seddon Atkinson 200.

They did sound wonderful

My 956 is turboed when I bought it in had it 10+ years never gets hot it has a ken low fan fitted it front of the rad aswell as the normal fan. The turbo trasformed these tractors. I keep thinking of getting a tidyer 956 or 1056 to replace mine as its looking scruffy now but never have as the tidy ones Iv fancied had no turbo and I'd miss it.

I didn't realise you had a knocker what do you think to your kinghitter

Cooper3075 · Oct 15, 2015

Suits is well only thing would be nice is a bit of back shift and sometimes masts a bit tall under trees other than that guy I sometimes work with bought it over 10 years ago when I bought the 956 he bought knocker I bought tractor as he hasn't got one so we sort of share it or use it together think it's still worth what he payed for it now. Iv used a par miter and s browns contractor models and hated useing them due to post miles from the controls its getting on s bit now and nearly swapped forca Bruce suma but for what we do this one owes us nothing and dose all we want
