I am wondering if I can put a turbo in our case 895 because I am looking for more power is there a difference between 895 engine and the 995 engine apart from a turbo

i believe they are the same, probably cheaper and easier to change the tractor though. if you put the money towards a bigger tractor the extra value will still be there should you need to sell it, if you throw money at your current tractor you will never see that money again.

We just bought a fully reconditioned cab for it and we bought it very cheap and we are restoring it and turbocharged it would just give it a nice amount of power

Factory turbo engines have a number of differences to help deal with the extra power and heat that's created.
You will need to upgrade the radiator as the original is hardly fit to keep the engine cool at the best of times.
What power are you looking to get out of it? The backend would be close to it's limit at 90 hp.

I had an 895 cooling would be my main worry also although the turbo put a bit of power on I think the 995 didn’t have much more torque

As others have said, keeping it cool could be a problem. Our 844 has the same engine and it runs a bit warmer since the turbo was added, but the 844 has a bigger radiator so it's not on the limit.
Our TB kit uses an oil to water engine oil cooler, which probably doesn't help with keeping water temperatures down but I don't know where you would put an oil to air cooler without restricting air flow to the main radiator.
 
I turboed my 844 and it turned it into a serious pocket rocket monster. I used the turbo and manifold from a 856. Although the gearbox and back-end of these "Continental" models are more than strong enough for the power upgraded, I would be cautions about upping the fueling too much on the lighter built models.
Plus, even with the larger cooling pack of the 844, I really struggled to keep her cool and had to watch the temp gauge continously and hold her back when on heavy work.
I think she was putting out around 115/120 hp
 
Yes it was done a few months ago when we bought it
Ok..... up to you what to do , something that I would never even think of doing..,, I know this is not quite the same but it's not that far apart I know a local contractor that bought a john deere not sure what model but a biggish one that needed an engine overhaul as it blew up because it had been chipped

I’d say forget that idea, the crank in them Nash engines just aren’t strong enough for standing a turbo! If an aftermarket turbo was ever fitted to one when new they wouldn’t go any more than 10hp extra incase they pooped themselves.
Like said above swap it for a bigger tractor designed for the extra power you require

What sort of work are you doing with the tractor? I'm sure it'll be fine, just don't overdo the fuel....it's probably not a bad idea to get it on a dyno afterwards.

I'd guess that the turbo engine has a lower compression ratio.
