So I came across this Case 1090 last summer that I bought with intentions of converting to a puller. Well, after getting it home and thinking the whole deal over, I realized with it being such a rare low houred tractor (1092 hours), that it could serve a better purpose than tractor pulling, so I think I am going to let it go down the road. I already have a fully restored 1070, so I really don't need another 100 horse open station tractor. Anyway, I am at a crossroads and trying to decide what to do. I can't decide if I should fix a lot of the little things that really need to be done to make it usable, or just sell it as is. It is cosmetically pretty rough, mainly because it sat just inside a lean-to for 20 years, but mechanically, it seems very sound, but needs some tlc. Some of the things I think need done are: new rear rims and tires (sat with calcium in them all those years, pretty nasty), new seat, replace the old style Case hydraulic outlets, rebush the front axle pivots, and a new muffler. I've already changed the motor oil and filter, fuel filters, and coolant, and it starts and runs beautifully. After doing these things, I think the tractor could go to the field. I guess my question is, do you think I would get more interest and a better return putting some money in it, or not spending anything on it and selling it as is. Check out the pics and let me know what you think. Oh yeah, I think there were only about 450 of them built, and this one is a 1971 Delta model.

He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook.
