Recently bought this Case 530. This replaces the Case 1845B, which replaced my Ford 8N. I originally sold my 8N and Cat forklift and went to a skidsteer that I built a forklift front end for. The idea was to shrink the amount of equipment that I had to maintain. The only problem was that Skidseetrs make poor forklifts, and poor tractors. Lesson learned.
I bought this relatively cheap. The 3pt wouldn't lift, brakes didn't work, and the tires are shot. Got it home and changed the milky oil in the final drive section. The fill plugs were loose. Pulled the lift cover and replaced the seal on the piston and the wear ring. It now works and stays up well. Had to weld the end on one of the lift arms in order to put the Gannon on.
After the lift, I concentrated on getting the brakes working. Had to replace a set of bands, and order the balls and springs for one side. Not too tough, but it was a little tricky getting all the parts back in place with the loader frame on the tractor. It stops now!
I had to drain the old fuel, clean the sediment bowl, put a screen in it, along with a new gasket. It will now start and stay running, so I drove it up and back on my road. In 4th gear high you can really feel how out of round the tires are from sitting flat, makes for an exciting ride.
In the next week I am hoping to get a set of rear tires for it. The tires on it are 16.9-24 R-4, I am going to go back to the stock 14.9-24 R-1.
After that, I will use it around my house over the winter to make sure it is reliable, then I will take it up to my cabin in the spring to work on my road and lot. It will likely stay up there until the end of November, then bring it home and figure out how to attach my backhoe to it.
