Well, after several weeks of waiting to see what this dealer was going to bring in on this Case 310B trade in, it showed up at his lot tonight. Not too pretty. Plate says Model 310B for sure, s/n 6102149. Has power steering, hood faintly says triple range. Front grill missing, (the one that covers the front center and wraps around a few inches). Has a Case loader, but this loader is really worn and loose. Can't find model of loader but has CASE prominently on the main arms. Only has a single, center, front cylinder. Very narrow bucket...probably holds about two large wheel barrow loads. Has a funny, (to me), push-pull hydraulic selector control that evidently selects whether the operator is using the loader or something plumbed to the externals in the rear. Tractor has 3-point of sorts. Must have been an orchard rig as it has 16.5Lx16.1, fat, low rear tires, but with well worn ag tread. Fat front tires, one car-type, both pretty well shot. Oil is very black, thick and has probably not been changed for a long time. Tractor starts and runs good. Loader works very slowly. I doubt I'd even want to use it as a loader tractor. Price: $2,500 and they'll likely stick to the price. I think it's high.Any comments? I have no experience with the 310's. I hear the triple range is nice. I also think this would be a better buy without the loader and priced at about $1,200. ?? Dennis..... uncertain if I want to bother further.
