Looking for ford 445 or 545D with 4X4 and loader. Hard to find down here,so Im thinking of going Case instead. Dont know what to number to look for.
There's not really any. when those were made, Case and New Holland were competitors, not bedmates. There were case 580s that had no hoe, but they weren't like the Ford industrial tractors, they were just TLBs with no hoe, sometimes with a 3 pt hitch, sometimes with a big counterweight. Once upon a time, Ford, Case, and IH, made tractors, and New Holland made hay and silage equipment. Then Case bought IH out of bankruptcy, and New Holland bought the tractor line from Ford. Then Fiat bought CaseIH, and New Holland, and a whole bunch of other companies, and a blended mess called CNH Global was spawned. OK, history lecture over, Good Luck, Mitch
A 545D in the Case world would probably be a 570LXT.
