I am considering purchasing a Case LA for a restoration/hobby project. I have never owned a Case and was wondering if parts for the LA are readily available. Any comments/advice about the LA is appreciated.

For shear fun of driving the LA is by far the best. its big 403 cid engine will give you loads of fun and the tractor is just neat to drive in parades ans such. It also is fun at pulls when built up some.

Like they say the weight means a very good trailer and tow vehicle I recommend a 1 ton or bigger as the LA can weigh up to 10,000 lbs with parts and extra stuff. Walt

Let me ask another question. What is more desirable? A LA, SC, DC, or SI?

Thanks again

To answer your first question, LA parts are not too hard to find. There are a couple of guys on this board that can probably get you anything you need.

As to your second question, it all depends on how much tractor you want to wrestle with. If I had MY choice between the four that you mentioned, I'd want the SI, but that's only because I already own an L and a CC, with are just unstyled versions of the LA and DC.

Thanks,

The SI needs more work. I assume parts are easy to get too, other than bearings.

The LA is a fine tractor; its biggest drawbacks are that it's a gas hog and its weight. You should have a 3/4 ton pickup and a heavy duty trailer to haul one. Parts are fairly easy to obtain although gasket sets are very pricy.
The SI would be a fairly desirable unit as it is not as commonly found; 3740 were built from 1942 to 1954. Engine bearings are hard to come by but can be found with a liitle searching. The DC was Case's most common tractor of that era. There are several variations and parts are fairly easy to find.
