Recently I came across a Case 530 TBL sitting at a junkyard. I stopped and talked with the owner. He seemed interested in selling but at the same time tried to talk me out of it.
Here is the best description I can give without pictures of it. He told me that it ran before he bought it and that he has never had it running. Basically they dropped it off the truck and never touched it again. Looking it over everything looks good for the most part. A few hydraulic hoses are in bad shape, there are a few minor spots of surface rust on the cylinders, no pitting or heavy rust though. All of the tires are holding air but they are dry cracked and nothing special.
When it comes to heavy equipment I have very little experience. Can anyone here give me any points or suggestions about this machine? Maybe what to look out for, what would be a fair price? While I was there the owner told me to make an offer. I didn't want to but hey wouldn't give me a number so I offered 500, slightly above current scrap price. I know it's a low number but I had to start somewhere.
Thanks in advance.
