David Brown / Case 1190-1390

The stylish 90 series was introduced at the end of 1979. The 885 was replaced by the 1190, the 990 by the 1290, and the 996 by the slightly more powerful 1390. The smallest model in the series was rear-wheel drive, while the larger ones also had an all-wheel-drive model equipped with a Carraro front axle. The technical changes were less extensive than the still modern-looking exterior would suggest. The transmission was partially synchronized, and the hydraulic output and lifting capacity were modest. The use of Selectamatic hydraulics was simplified. The cab was still manufactured by Sekura but met the requirements of the 1980s. A larger fuel tank than before was placed under the cab on the left side. All models were equipped with dual clutches. Surprisingly, the 1190 had 12-inch clutch plates, while the 1290 and 1390 continued with 11-inch ones.

From 1983 onwards, the larger models’ well-known Hydra Shift transmission was also made available for the 1390, but only for the rear-wheel-drive model.

For the year 1983, the tractor brand also changed to Case in Europe.
