I'm thinking about buying one maybe. If you have time to share your knowledge, is there anything to look out for? Could a guy with good mechanical skill rebuild one of these transmissions, or does it take a lot of special tools and information?
@@MurhsDerf Here's my advice on buying. For the 70 series. 1270,1370,1570. 90 series 2290 and up. You better come up with an extra 10grand in case there's a clutch slippage, and the rest of the Powershift goes out... Don't bring it to case ih if you got 15-20grand.... My opinion. I don't recommend using the Powershift. Only use 1st powershift to do most fieldwork. If you use the Powershift alot. The Powershift tranny would last you 10years or if not less. My way. I'm confident it'll last you 20-40 yrs depending on when the previous owner fixed the Powershift...
@@MurhsDerf plus this too. Test all the Powershift gears climbing uphill. If 1st 2nd or 3rd powershift is slowing down to where it stops uphill. That tells you that one of the cluchplate in the powershift cluchpack is slipping. That I'd definitely recommend bringing that tractor to a shop that specializes fixing powershifts for the 70 and 90 series cases. That happen to my 1270. It's in the shop now..
I was a Case 70 and 90 series service tech in the 70s and 80s. Loved them tractors.

I have a 970 powershift apart right now. Looking for parts. Have to go with salvage since new are no longer available.
What would cause the hydraulic lift not to work. Looking at buying a black night 1070
