Should I fix a Case 300

[IanCA]

I can get a Case 300 for free but it needs a clutch, brakes, and maybe tires. It ran when it was parked 15 years ago but I haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet so I am not sure that the motor is free. I can do the work myself and with the help of friends who work on tractors. Should I fix it or get a newer tractor? Anyone think I could get this running for $2,500 or am I dreaming?

Piece of cake! Engine should be $1500 MAX, brakes and clutch are cheap and used tires are everywhere. If you don't want it, I'll take it! :wink:

Go for it!! Great little tractor always in demand.

me too

That is how I feel about it. My dad thinks I should just buy a running tractor but I will spend roughly the same amount of money.

Yeah, you could buy another running one for that, but then you might be buying someone else's problem and you know all the work that has been done to it! Besides, that wouldn't be fun anyways!

HELL YES GUY

You and I will have to have a little race to see who can get theirs done first. Post all of us a pic. of your new wife. We won't tell the real one.

I will take it if you don't want it!

Here is a photo of where it sits now (if it works). In a month or so I will go get it and start tearing into it. Any idea what this tractor weighs?

Ya, fix it. Starting price is free, then you know what you got. Last you a long time. You will be proud.
