case model d wide front tractor

i need some input i am looking at a case model d tractor its straight and all there,the tires are all up but not the best,you can move it around but its going to need some rubber,the tractor starts up nice has about 25 pounds oil presure,motor starts to warm up and she starts blowing smoke kind of bad,and oil drops ro around 10,to 15 at idle,,,,it needs the normal restore things clutch handle bushed,steering shaft bushing ect ect it does have lights ,2 fronts are nice rear work light is ruff ,the price is 600.00 the way she sits,and 800 if i want a head with newer valves he has for it,,,what do you guys think of the price he says he had the valve cover off and the valve guides are vary worn could this be the cause of the smoke or likely will it need rings ect ,i was told you can do a lot with the case tractors with the motor in tractor ,are parts easy to get for the case tractors ,,,should i buy or walk ,,,,i like the looks and the size of it ,but after the work i maby could buy a better one up front,they are not making more and the sure dont get cheaper
 
Well 1st off 600.00 don't buy a you a ell of a lot any more. I wouln't worry bout the oil press, hard to say bout the valve seals, tires cost a arm and a leg. Now with all that being said if you don,t buy it, I would in a min. but I like to tinker with old tractors if they run Once a month I'm happy if they don't then I just wait till next month. lol
 
My vote on this is BUY, and buy the extra head. Offer $700 for both and see if he bites, but don't let the head get away. How's the sheet metal? Replacement sheet metal can be found, but if what is on it is all dented up and rusted through, it's drops the price of the tractor a bit.

Parts for a D are fairly easy to come by, as they made a TON of DC, which is basically the same tractor. If the crankshaft is good, you can rebuild the motor without removing the block from the tractor. You should be able to get most of everything you'd need from a Case dealership, or there are guys over on the Case board that carry parts.

My email is open if you need further assistance...
 
yep sheet metal is good and it comes with spare hood that he says is even better than whats on it ,says he has a spare fuel tank also,sound like i better buy i just am a little slow to pull the trigger because i have a few tractors in line to restore and was not sure if i wanted one needing engine work but 600 does sound ok ,wow i was on line the gaskets are really high for that d what the hell they gold plated ,,i see that the d has sleeves,maby i can get buy with head work and some service rings if they make them ,will have to see how the bores look,,,,,,,,,i was on utube looking at d,s makes me want it even more ,,,,,,,,,thanks guys,
