Case IH 1594 Troubleshooting

The Case IH 1594 utility tractor was manufactured between 1985 and 1988. The tractor is powered by AD6.55 330 cubic inches six-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a maximum output power of 97 hp (72,3 kW) and 329,1 Nm (242,8 lb-ft) of max torque at 1425 rev/min.

The Case IH 1594 is fitted with 2 types of transmission. Type 1: 12x4 synchromesh gear transmission. Type 2: Hydra-Shift transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. The maximum travel speed (forward and reverse): 19,7 mph (31,7 kph) / 11,6 mph (18,7 kph).

The open center hydraulic system includes a gear pump with fluid flow rate of 10,5 gpm (39,8 lpm). The main relief pressure is 180 bar (2600 psi). The four-wheel drive models are equipped with 14.9-24 front tyres and 16.9-38 rear tyres. The 10.00-16 front tyres and 13.6-28 rear tyres fit two wheel drive tractors. The wheelbase is 100" (2540 mm).
