870"s never had a case-o-matic. Are you talking about a powershift, or do you have a 830?

70 series were either powershift with 4 range gears on one lever and three forward gears plus reverse on another lever. The only other option was a 4 speed tranny with high and low range. A Case-O-Matic is a torque converter driven tranny like an automatic, put it in gear and hit the throttle and if the load is too big she just won't move and the engine won't rev up but it won't stall like a standard manual tranny would when you let out on the clutch. So what do ya have?

even just a patch job won't be cheap- labor, parts, machine work ect. could easily spend $2500.00, if you don't fix it keep me in mind, might be interested as is

Could you post a picture of your tractor? It would make it much easier for us to help you. Although the 870 essentially replaced the 830, there are huge differences between the two tractors. And so far from what you've described, the tractor doesn't fit the description of an 870.

An 830 will have a flat, horizontal hood with the headlights in front above the grill.

An 870 will have a sloping hood with the headlights mounted in the rear fenders.

the tractor is a 870 the headlights are in the fenders and the hood slopes toward the front. still dont know what this thing is worth. All the metal is in great shape the tires are new but the seat needs repair. I have pulled the motor out and I have the parts to fix it but I still dont know if its worth sending the crank and block to the machine shop and I guess it has a power shift trans in it. It has one lever with four speeds and the other lever has three foward and one reverse.

You have the powershift tranny then. I would guess it is worth about $5000 if all is good including the engine.

With good metal and new tires, you have a GREAT tractor that's worth restoring. How many hours are on the tach? (was the tach replaced, mine was but it's a one owner, so I kept the old tach!)

Also, is the paint on the hood Desert Sunset (yellow) or white?

Also, can you post the sereal number? Then we can tell you how old it is.
