The 1070 is by far the better tractor as long as the powershift is good, they can be costly to fix. The 451 engines are as good as they get and more fuel effficient than most any others. The pto is both very reliable and easy to fix. As far as the sleeve leaking issue it is no worse than any otjer brand, they have o-rings on the bottom of the sleeves that will start to leak after 30 or 40 years and most times if they are leaking it's time for an overhaul anyway but if not new o-rings will do it.
To check the case start by starting the engine cold, if its in good shape it will start right up at any temp, our 970 would start no problem at -30. When they get more worn out that will get worse and be a tell. Check for excessive blowby too.
For the trany you want it to be up to temp because they will act a bit different when real cold. When you push in the clutch you should hear a mild grunt in the engine and then be able to shift into gear with little or no grinding. When it shifts it should be a firm shift with no slipping and no more pull on the engine than the speed change would cause. Do the shifts while holding the brakes to put some load on the engine as well to check for slipping or excessive engine load. Also check that both thee steering and pto work while shifting and in all the gears as that is a tell for trany problems. When you shift to reverse you need to use the clutch even tho its on the powershift lever and you will hear a squealing, this is normal.
The case powershift does have an anomaly to keep in mind. When doing stationary pto work like on a silage blower or manure pump you must not leave the powershift in reverse as parts of the trany won't get oil and the trany can be ruined. This only applies to stationary pto work aand they work fine for baling and snow blowing ect. Just remember to bump them out of reverse all the time and you won't have any issues.
If you do buy one I suggest changing the trany oil right away if you don't know what is in it and replace it with real Case Hytran and you should never have any trany issues for what you will be doing. Other brands of oil have been known tomcause problems.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
