In Reply to: 1968 Case 1030 posted by jcrane on August 31, 2010 at 20:03:07:
I have a 1968 1030 that has been in the extended family since new. I was on that tractor the day the radio announced Elvis died. The only real weakness is the breaks. Some guys don't like the power steering but it is not week. Also, they are poor starters in cold but they can take ether (my farm is in North Dakota, we know cold). Mine has been started with it for 42 years. Not having a turbo or any kind of powershift/TA in a tractor that old, is in my opinion, not a bad thing. My friend in North Dakota uses a 1030 with a (I believe)Farmhand 235 loader to feed all winter long. As I recall the motors in the CASE tractors spin several hundred RPM lower that the similar IHC and JD offerings of the era, and that must count for something after 40 years. If that 1030 is in good shape (and you may want to bring someone along that would know) it is well worth $3500. It is a tractor that is tough, simple, sips fuel and is really loud.
