First bit of advice I would give is to switch to "modern view" on this website. Look in the upper right hand corner.
It looks like a nice lil unit, I am glad you made it home safe...
I know practically nothing about Case tractors so I will not be much help about it specifically. As far as general advice with a loader tractor, do not use it beyond its capabilities. It sounds obvious, but I assure you it is not. If what you are doing feels dangerous, it likely is. As with most people, the more you use it, the more competent and confident you will get. BUT do not get overconfident. Most farm accidents happen when one gets too much in a hurry, and has too much faith in ones skill.
These rear dismount tractors are what make PTOs dangerous. An untied shoelace and a running PTO while getting on or off could be fatal. Sure, you can get by with it 1000 times, but that 1001st time is gonna HURT.
Concerning the tires - You have not really told us what you are planning on doing with the tractor. If just for puttering around and they hold air, use them as they are. From the pics, they do not look bad at all. Chains are likely on it because he used it for snow removal only. Take em off until you need them. You should focus on making sure the tractor itself is good before you splash out $2K for rubber (though I admit mismatched tires would drive me CRAZY). You definitely should get fluid back into the rears NOW. No weight on the back of a loader tractor greatly increases chances of rollover.
Good luck with it. You will have a lot of fun with an old tractor. Do you know what is better than ONE old tractor?
