A local-ish dealer has had a Case 410 listed for sale since the summer, and the price keeps dropping slowly. It's now at $2500 CAD. It looks in good condition, and is supposed to be in good running order.
A few questions I have about it:
Does anyone have any info about what loaders would fit this tractor?
How hard would it be to add power steering? I see where it is *supposed* to mount on the front of the block, so it it pretty much plug and play if I can locate the PS parts? Does anyone sell remanufactured PS pumps?
I've looked enough into using Eagle Hitch with Class I 3PH implements, which I have. It looks like I might need to weld a few pins slightly different on my implements, and potentially locate or fabricate a 'high' mount point for the center link. Is this more or less correct?
This seems like a lot of tractor for $2500CAD - I imagine most people are scared off by the Eagle Hitch. 3PH is king around here.
The local Case IH dealer is 5 minutes away, sandwiched between the John Deere and AGCO dealerships, so dealer support is easy.
How is parts availability for these?
