Case-IH CX 90 specs: hp, weight, years
PERKINS-FASTRAM 1004-40 Turbo-HR four-cylinder diesel or Perkins 1004-4T HR. The manufacturer claimed 88.8 horsepower. The only laboratory test on record is of one version: OECD Test 1898 measured 81.1 hp at the PTO of the CX 90 (4 WD). Compared at the engine's rated speed, where the brochure figure is quoted, the shaft gave 79.7 hp — 10.3% below the claim.
