These are my own personal impressions and may not be completely based in fact:
Parts for the Case are nonexistent.
Parts for the 5088 are getting hard to come by.
My impression for the White is parts support is still good, but expensive, even by Deere standards.
Far as I know, Deere still fully supports the 4430.
The early-mid 80's was a depression in agriculture, not many new tractors being sold and as a result there was a lot of fallout in the industry. Case, International, White, Allis Chalmers, all these companies were in trouble and ended up merging in various ways. Only Deere survived that intact.
If you're specifically looking for a tractor from that era, the Deere is the only one I would look at. Maybe the White if the Deere is out of your price range.
I know this is not what you were asking for or want to hear, but I would either go with a tractor series that was around before 1980 or something from 1987 or newer.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
