TRACTION AND POSITION POTENTIOMETER FOR CASE IH, Part No. A186061

A186061 Potentiometer for IH Case, and IH tractors

The A186061 potentiometer is designed for IHCase tractors for traction force and position control functions. This part is used in a control system where a position value or setpoint must be transmitted consistently. If you are looking for this component as a replacement, the primary selection criterion is part number A186061, which must be confirmed against the exact machine model.

Role of the Potentiometer in This Application

A potentiometer is a control device used to transmit information related to a position or setting. In this application, it is associated with the traction force and position adjustment functions. It is therefore suitable for a targeted search when you need to replace the corresponding component on a compatible tractor.

With this type of assembly, the goal is to restore reliable and consistent control. A part that looks similar is not always sufficient: matching the part number remains essential, as multiple versions may exist depending on the tractor series or model.

Case, and IH Tractors Covered

This potentiometer is documented for several IH-Case tractors. Applications include models from the 9300, CX, and MX series, with applications also listed for the Magnum MX180 and various Maxxum MX models.

Known model designations include, for example, 9310, 9370, CX80, CX100, MX120, MX150, and Maxxum MX170. The suffixes must be used correctly: MX100 and MX100C are not the same, nor are MX80C and MX90C. It is therefore essential to verify the complete model designation.

How to Choose the Right Part Number

To select this potentiometer for an IH Case , start by comparing part number A186061 with the part you’ve removed or with your maintenance documentation. Then verify the exact model designation of the tractor, without simplifying the model name or omitting its suffixes.

It’s also helpful to clearly distinguish between machine families when several similar names exist. A model from the MX series, a Maxxum MX, or a Magnum MX180 should not be assumed to be the same simply because they share some letters. The best approach here is to cross-reference the part number with the specific application.

Points to Check Before Replacement

A potentiometer is typically replaced when an associated setting is no longer interpreted correctly or no longer responds as expected. In this case, correctly identifying the part prevents you from replacing a neighboring component that serves a different function within the control system.

Since no dimensions are provided for this part number, it’s best not to base your choice solely on the external appearance. If your tractor is listed among the documented applications, this A186061 potentiometer matches a specific search. Before confirming your order, simply verify the part number and the exact model of the machine.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the A186061 potentiometer used for?

The A186061 potentiometer is used for traction force and position adjustment functions. It transmits a value related to a tractor control or setting. To select the correct part, you must first confirm the part number A186061 and its application on the specific model.

Is this potentiometer compatible with an IH CX80 “ Case ” or a Maxxum MX120?

Yes, the Case, IH CX80, and Maxxum MX120 models are among the documented applications for this part number. Compatibility is also indicated for other tractors in the 9300, CX, and MX series, as well as the Magnum MX180. Always check the exact model designation on your machine.

Do I need to take suffixes like MX100C, MX80C, or MX90C into account?

Yes, these suffixes must be taken into account. Similar designations such as MX100 and MX100C should not be confused, as they correspond to distinct versions in the documented compatibility list. When replacing a part, compare the tractor’s full model number with part number A186061 before ordering.

Is part number A186061 the correct way to identify this part?

Yes, part number A186061 is the primary identifier for this potentiometer. Since no dimensions are provided for this part, it’s best to avoid selecting it based solely on visual appearance. The best practice is to cross-reference the part number with the exact model of the compatible tractor.
