You need to get out more. If you can find an Ingersoll dealer that actually has some new Ingersoll's in stock, you will find GT's that are not only made like the old Case you have but are made even better.
Ingersoll still uses the same cast steel front axle and trans-axle but with improvements. The frames are still welded up from structural steel and the fenders, seat pedestal and hood are all made from heavy guage sheet steel. Ingersoll has not gone to plastics or composites like so many other brands have but quality like that still comes at a price just like it did when your Case was new.
