[AT] '60s Loader tractor (was Re: Looking at a New Tractor

[Mike Sloane]

 From my own dealings, the Case construction line is very well supported 
by Case construction equipment dealers. The Case farm tractors, on the 
other hand, seem to have been neglected by Case/IH. While most New 
Holland and Case/IH ag dealers have access to the parts systems of the 
three different lines, the availability of Case farm tractor parts is 
not nearly as good as the other two lines. I have gotten some small 
pieces like seals and gaskets (in Case/IH plastic bags) but not much 
else. I had to replace the exhaust manifold, and it took a while to 
locate an after-market supplier. Maybe the problem is more acute here in 
NJ/PA, as Case ag stuff is uncommon - there are actually a lot more 
Oliver and Allis Chalmers machines than Case, for whatever reason. And, 
of course, JD, IH, and Ford are plentiful. My Case 430CK was brought in 
from Georgia by the PO's son.
