Depending on what kind of hours is on the used engine I'd be inclined to go that route based on the numbers. I'm generally not a big fan of used engines, but if it's got decent low hours and came from that same application, and they guarantee it for 30 days then it sounds half way reasonable. It would need to be a dead, complete drop in for that money though. If you need to get into rigging stuff up to work, then I'd think you could get a damn good running DT466 for about half that money.
The local rebuild doesn't sound bad on price either. CDC aftermarket parts are getting pretty cheap now and he can probably do a pretty comprehensive rebuild for that money. The main factor there is who HE is and what kind of rep he has, etc. There's rebuilds... and then there's reman's. For that money I'd be leaning towards a reman, not some quick patch up. I think Case is steep on their reman price. They ought to install it for the 9 grand.
So... I dunno. The used engine if they back it for 30 days will probably go a long time if it makes it to 30 days. If it doesn't you're out your time and such, plus it's down at harvest. Then you're going for the 9 grand reman cause you need it in a hurry. Things to think about...

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
