Hello,
We are in need of a backhoe for a lot of work on our new property. I am a newbie for operating and working on heavy machinery. Our budget is limited so used and old look like the only option.
The is a 580 CK backhoe for sale locally for $4500. It isn't pretty and needs a starter and all seals replaced. I do not know the year although I researched that they were only built from '67-'71. I do not know the how's either. I know it is a crap shoot, especially for a newbie like me to go and look at and maybe buy. I thought I would try here for thoughts and opinions.
Thoughts in general on this machine (for what little you know of it)?
I am ok with tools and working on cars, would I be able to do he repairs myself?
Any special tools?
What else should I look for when I go and check this out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
