Depending on what kind of hours is on the used engine I'd be inclined to go that route based on the numbers. I'm generally not a big fan of used engines, but if it's got decent low hours and came from that same application, and they guarantee it for 30 days then it sounds half way reasonable. It would need to be a dead, complete drop in for that money though. If you need to get into rigging stuff up to work, then I'd think you could get a damn good running DT466 for about half that money.
The local rebuild doesn't sound bad on price either. CDC aftermarket parts are getting pretty cheap now and he can probably do a pretty comprehensive rebuild for that money. The main factor there is who HE is and what kind of rep he has, etc. There's rebuilds... and then there's reman's. For that money I'd be leaning towards a reman, not some quick patch up. I think Case is steep on their reman price. They ought to install it for the 9 grand.
So... I dunno. The used engine if they back it for 30 days will probably go a long time if it makes it to 30 days. If it doesn't you're out your time and such, plus it's down at harvest. Then you're going for the 9 grand reman cause you need it in a hurry. Things to think about...

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
