Case 1494 thoughts

[hepcatz]

I'm shopping for a new tractor and I've come across a Case 1494 that looks nice and in our budget range. I don't know much about these so anyone have any feedback? It has a cab and loader, new tires, 4wd and about 7,000hrs(which is a bit high for me). Are these late 80s Case tractors good? Fairly easy to work on and parts available? Anything special to look out for or be aware of with this specific model? It'll be used for snow plowing, working the compost/manure pile, brush hogging 20 hilly acres mostly with occasional cultivation of big garden areas, fence work and hauling things around the farm.
