Hey, I'm new to this board but I feel the readers of this forum are very knowledgable and could possibly help me out significantly. I have a small farm in So/Cent PA. I've done all of my farming the past several years with 3 half restored farmall H's and one Oliver 88. Some of the work that I've been running into requires a larger tractor. I've been looking at a case 1490. This horsepower should get me over the hump but frankly I don't know the tractor very well. Its shed kept(clean) with about 4000hrs. My question... is there any particular areas that I should be looking. Are these tractors notorious for any problems that may break my shallow piggy bank. Thanks already!!

Hey Mag.
4000 hours is not bad. DB�s are not very easy to
start below freezing point. I don�t know what you
are going to use it for but don�t load the 3-point
to heavy.
Best wishes, Jens Andersen, Denmark

Thanks!! I have an IH 450 16" plow and a small chisel plow that I was considering using the piece for. Currently I rent JD's (4020) in the spring for this type of work at a reasonable price. From what you stated this might be the way to go considering the weak 3pt. Also, is there anything personally I could do to help it start during cold temps. Thanks...

There is a manifold glow plug on the tractor to assist in cold starting. It will start no problem. If you have to put a circulating block heater on it. the tractor only has 70hp, no where near what the 4020 has.
