All 182 pages of this Case International 956 Operator Manual (OEM #9-12062) focus on the 956, 956XL, 1056, and 1056XL tractors: how to run them, maintain them, and keep them pulling. You get a full instruments and controls section covering the instrument cluster, PTO clutch lever, brake pedals, and differential lock, plus detailed three-point linkage procedures for draft control, remote position control, and hitching ploughs. Inside: a complete lubrication and preventative maintenance chapter with service charts, fluid capacities for every system, and interval schedules keeping your machines on spec. Set fieldwork tire inflation to 0.2 MPa and follow the cold-temperature starting procedure before you turn that key in January. Your tractor is down and the clock is running. Bookmarked and searchable, this PDF jumps you to any section in a single click.

Case IH 956, 956XL, 1056, 1056XL Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case International 956 tractor experiences excessive wheel slip and poor traction during heavy fieldwork p. 30
Check the tire inflation pressures before starting operation to ensure proper ground contact. Adjust the fieldwork tire inflation pressure to exactly 0.2 MPa as detailed on page 30. Verify the front and rear wheel weights are properly distributed to prevent slippage.
Manual Section: Tire and Wheel SpecificationsLoader stops working completely and hydraulic pressure low warning light flashes on the instrument cluster p. 118
Inspect the hydraulic system oil level on page 118 to ensure it sits between the MIN and MAX marks. Replace the pressure filter element and clean the breather filter if fluid is highly contaminated. Check the auxiliary cylinder connections for visible leaks.
Manual Section: Hydraulic SystemEngine temperature gauge spikes into the red zone and coolant boils over after short operation periods p. 143
Clean the radiator grille and side panels to remove trapped debris blocking airflow. Inspect the cooling system fan belt tension as shown on page 143. Verify the engine oil level is at the FULL mark on the dipstick to prevent excess internal friction.
Manual Section: "V" Belt DrivesFrequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic pump?
The manual provides performance specifications for the hydraulic system, but not specific replacement part numbers for the hydraulic pump itself. For 956XL and 1056XL Sens-O-Draulic systems, the maximum operating pressure is 16 to 17 MPa (2350 to 2465 PSI). The pump output at rated engine speed is 30 Litres/min (6.6 U.K. Gallons/min), which is reduced to a constant flow of 18 (or 12) Litres/min (4 (or 2.6) U.K. Gallons/min) by the flow divider.
What are the replacement specifications for Fuel injector?
For 956/956XL models, the fuel injector nozzles are Bosch, DLLA 150 S 816 (with Pump 1) or Bosch, DLLA 150 S 836 (with Pumps 2 and 3). For 1056/1056XL models, the fuel injector nozzles are Bosch, DLLA 150 S 815 (with Pump 1) or Bosch, DLLA 150 S 836 (with Pumps 2 and 3). For both series, the nozzle holders are Bosch, KBEL 84 S 4/13, and the nozzle opening pressure is 22.5 to 23.3 MPa (3262 to 3378 PSI) with Pump 1, and 24 to 24.8 MPa (3481 to 3597 PSI) with Pumps 2 and 3.
How do you fix Case International 956 tractor experiences excessive wheel slip and poor traction during heavy fieldwork?
