[AT] Case/International 2096T

[Ralph Goff]

Herb, the 2096 is a newer version of my 2090 Case and mine is a 1979-80 
vintage. The 2096 must have came out about 83 because I do seem to recall 
seeing some in white paint. Most were red though and that would be after 
Case and IH became one and the same. They had a different engine to mine. 
The all Case 504 in mine has been great after 6500 trouble free hours and I 
hear the newer one in the 2096 also has a good record. They were a smaller , 
turocharged CDC engine, sort of a combined effort of Case and Cummins. Maybe 
the predecessor to the engines in the Magnum series.
I drove a 2096 that my brother was testing some 20 years ago and was 
impressed with it. It pulled whatever I could pull with my 2090. The 2096 
had a horsepower rating of 115 which is about 7 hp more than the older 2090.
If it has been properly maintained and not abused too much the 2096 should 
be a good tractor for anyone.
