Case 900

I'm a new comer to the site and have found it very interesting so far. I thought I would ask a silly question but it has me confused.

I bought a (new) tractor not to long ago the decal on the hood says 900 but I have heard discussion of a 900B. What is the difference in the 2? I farm about 400 acres in eastern oklahoma and the case is a beast for pulling in the rocks and hills. The 900 is diesel and has a hand clutch, which is difficult to get used to on the steep terrane. What kind of HP can you get out of one of these stock?

Thanks for the great website and information,
Clay

Mine has an inline fuel pump. The previous owner said it had been rebuilt and I think it is turning a little more HP than stock. At least it feels a little stouter than the 80HP Ford I got. But I have never had it tested to see exactly what it can make.

I like the rear mount style of this tractor. And yes the hand clutch is something to get used to. I remember the first time I dropped my 5 bottom turn plow in the ground. It bit real hard and reared the front tires up almost two feet. I soon figured out you have to be careful how deep you set the plow. With enough weight on the front the 900 will bellow out and rip ground like a monster.

Well thanks for the help.
