I grew up IH and have some left. My only one of size is an 886 that has a loader. It's my favorite tractor of all of them. When I hay, fertilize, plow terraces, or rotary mow I take the loader off the tractor - it's a five minute job. During the winter it is used daily to feed bales with. If it's wet I use the loader on the 7800 MFWA Deere or if it's nice I use the old 4020.
I know every hates the doors and shifting on the IH. Mine are fine (low hour tractor). My biggest pet leave with bad hips and knees is the steps. I need to invest in one of the new sets. Other than that I say go for the IH. If you are just using it for a loader tractor expect it to slobber and use some oil. Diesels like to be worked. I can plow terraces for months and be fine. Use it to chore with only and I plan on adding oil half way between changes.
I'm not familiar with the old Cases, but putting a loader on a big tractor like that would be like put one on my old Deere 8430. Hot mess. Don't get me wrong, I love my old Big Bertha. They are great cheap power for field work but all of their hours come from pulling the disk or packing the silo. That's about all they are good for.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
