Jim: Why not give CaseIH a call. I'm thinking that front end would have been on new tractors into the 90s. New could be your least expensive route. A lot of the used tractors with MFWD front will have seen many hours of loader work, thus the front ends will have seen a lot of punishment. Wouldn't hurt to know the cost of new if you negociate on used either.

Another item to keep in mind is a substancial number of those tractors with cabs burned I know a wrecker in a relatively small market area, must have had a dozen of those he bought from insurance companies. He told me he bought them thinking, getting them back in operation as open station tractors would be quite easy. It turned out to be more expensive than he thought. His next thought was how many models of IH tractors did the power trains fit. He showed me a few of them, fire had definately been in the cab-fuel tank area. Most of the factory paint was still on the power train, particularly at the front. That was close to 15 years ago, probably most of the parts have been picked up by now, but you just never know, particularly in small market areas.
