Any one of the 3 COULD be a good tractor, or it COULD be a bomb. All 3 were fine machines in their day. You're buying the condition of a 30-something year old tractor now though.
I had a 5000. One of the best Fords ever built. Earlier ones had issues with pourous castings in the engine block. By the mere fact that it's still around and running today, obviously the one you're looking at isn't one that was effected. Later models had MUCH better steering. Look for one in the 1970's. Around here, and AVERAGE 5000 w/ loader is $6000 to $7500. Still have EXCELLENT parts support through NEW HOLLAND MF180 is a flat deck 175 for all intents and purposes. Good tractor. 100 series Masseys sell good here. With a decent loader, $5000 to $6000 minimum. MF/AGCO still support parts for that tractor.
IH2400. ??? One I don't know much about. Sounds like an industrial model. That usually indicates a strong front axle , good for loader work. Also, probably more hydraulic capacity. Look at what sort of "industrial application" it's been through. May have been used little, may have been pounded on for years. I haven't owned an IH for years , but I'd bet CNH still supports IH brands very well. (Too many out there for them to turn their back on)
Which one seems to be in the best condition? That'd be MY choice.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
