Soundguy,
If I were you I  wouldn't be looking for a certain brand and model I would 
just go to  a tractor sales and look at what's available, pretty soon you will 
see  something that just tugs at your heart and you know that you must have 
one. I  think these make the best tractors to own because they come from the 
heart and  not what John or Joe has. Doesn't really matter what it is its what you 
want and  when its all repaired and cleaned and painted up it will be a thing 
of joy to  you and that's who you are wanting to please anyway.   
I remember  the first day I saw my Case LA it was big and bold and looked 
like it had lots  of power it was just what I wanted and both me and my wife said 
"Boy" we got to  have that tractor. It's my favorite tractor and I hope that 
someday it will be  all painted up and pretty. I have been slowly doing the 
mechanical and body work  on it so its getting just about ready to paint. It 
won't be perfect but it will  look good as I use it daily on the farm for 
different things. I just want it to  look fairly good at the tractor pulls and shows 
with new paint and decals. Not a  trailer queen but a real working tractor 
that still looks good after 61 years.
