Maynard,
As you know, I'm in Ontario. For sure, we do have more Case tractors here than you will likely come across in all of the eastern provinces. Just the same, it's rare that anyone posts a Case for sale around here for a price that is what I call reasonable. In fact, I gave up looking for them a couple years ago and turned my attention to the US market. Since Colts were never sold in Canada as a new product, your chances of finding one of those north of the border is slim. The two I have came from the US and the other collectors near me also went south to pick theirs up.
If you want a tractor to use at your homestead then I suggest that you seek out a 200 or 400 series that was built in 1971 or newer. If you like the Desert Sunset and Power Red paint scheme, then 1971 to 1976 are the machines to seek out. If you prefer the Power Red with Power White wheels, then 1977 and later have those colours with a couple minor variances.
Low cost buys can often be found on Craigslist Pennsylvania. There are creative ways to get tractors shipped. Jack and I do it often.
If you are serious about buying a Case or Colt or Ingersoll, then you are going to have to give the above some serious consideration.
