Is the cab a Case factory cab? If it is it my have some value to a collector, they do exist, but 30 series Case collectors are few and far between. An older cab could still be an asset on a snow blower/snow pusher tractor. For most people, those older after-market "ear beater" cabs without air conditioning are so hot and so noisy they decrease the value of any tractor. If the doors can be removed and the windows opened wide or removed, the noise level and heat would be reduced to where the cab could be a more comfortable sunshade.
At $5,000 I think the tractor is priced for the collector market, if there is one. If the tractor fits your operation, you could get $5,000 worth of work out of it if the tires hold up and you don't mind driving it. It would be hard for you to resell it as-is for $3,000. If you had to put four new tires and two rear rims on it, fixed the PTO, and replaced the sleeves, I suspect you would still have a tough time getting anywhere close to $4,000 for it.
I think 1030's were rated at 101 HP (Nebraska Tractor test #952), which is still plenty of power for most haying. They have a great torque reserve that lugs well, but I don't think the old style in-direct injection cylinder head converts over-fueling into extra HP as well as direct injection engines do.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
