Case Company, the 750 series reflected the technological standards of its era while providing reliable performance on construction sites and farms.
Engine and Powertrain
  • The Classic Case 750 typically features a Case 336BD 6-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine.
  • Rated net horsepower ranges around 80 HP, suitable for demanding tasks without excessive fuel consumption.
  • Hydraulic system capacity is approximately 14 gallons with a pump delivering around 25 gallons per minute at 1250 psi, providing efficient implement operation and steering control.
Design and Dimensions
  • The Case 750 crawler tractor measures roughly 6 feet 6 inches in operating length, which varies based on attachments and configurations.
  • Robust undercarriage with durable track chains and rollers ensures stability on rough, uneven terrain and ease of maintenance.
  • Designed with straightforward mechanical systems prioritizing serviceability and long-term reliability.
Applications and Usage
  • Popular for grading, pushing earth, and site preparation in construction, forestry, and agricultural environments.
  • Versatile attachment compatibility including blades, rippers, and winches extends the machine's effectiveness across various projects.
  • The 750 series balanced power and maneuverability, making it a workhorse for medium-scale earthmoving operations during its production period.
Historical Context
  • Case 750 was part of the company’s lineup before and after Tenneco’s acquisition of J.I. Case in the early 1970s, reflecting modernization efforts while retaining proven engineering approaches.
  • The tractor played a significant role in the transition era of crawler tractors, bridging older mechanical designs with emerging hydraulic technologies of the time.
Operator Experiences
