Hello, I have a chance to buy a White 4-78-15 backhoe, 3200 hr., in pretty decent shape. Unfortunately a few hundred miles away. Would be used very occasionally on a farm, digging up tile lines, removing trees, minor excavation, pushing snow, etc. What can everyone tell me about these? Were they good machines? Parts availability? Anything to look out for? Believe it has the Waukesha engine in it, how do I tell if it's one of the iffy ones? Or the fact that it hasn't blown up yet means it's okay?
We are used to Whites & Olivers, only tractor every used here. Talked to Tom at OBCI, he wasn't real hip on them, they never sold one or dealt with one.
Thank you for your help.
