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.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
