Case IH 485 engine rebuild
low

As the title says I want to rebuild the engine on my Case IH 485. I’m having trouble finding a rebuild kit for it. If I’m not mistaken is a D-179 diesel. It’s a 3 cylinder. Any help would be appreciated

Is a Case IH 485 too big?
low

I found a good deal on a Case 485. 1991, everything works, no leaks. Not new, but doesn't look abused. I have 5 acres, 4 of which need serious brush control, and I'd like to maintain our long gravel driveway. Is this too big of a tractor for "5 acre homeowner use" ? Has an Allied 390 loader on it. Is that a decent loader? Seems like in the price range I'm shopping in, I can easily get a decent 20hp, but I know myself: I always push my machines harder than I probably should and shorten their lifespan or I spend a lot of time fixing things I broke. So on one hand I love having a beefy tractor. On the other hand, if it's a royal PITA because it's too big - I dont need that headache either.
