A cold day so thought I would put some pics of my Case equipment. I used to have 2 2470s and 2 2290s, but now only have 1 2470 left.
The 2470 has not been used for farm work since 2000 and hadn't been started since 2009 when I had the last water leak. But had a water line break this summer so put a set of batteries in it and it fired right up!
I bought the 2290 used in 1982, which belonged to a neighbor and he put 100 hours on it since 1979. All I ever used it for was as a planting and haying tractor, but the planter outgrew the tractor in 2003 so I retired the tractor. But I thought it was too nice a tractor to sit in the shed, so I took it to the local tractor sale and sold it. Didn't do to bad....bought it for $23000 and sold it for $17000 in 2012 after putting about 4500 hours on it!
