Hello to everyone, I just got a case 530ck with what I believe to be the 32 backhoe? Attatched... I bought it very cheaply and sight unseen, it's the perfect machine for me, and I can fix anything, I'm here for general support along the way. It came in with a non functional clutch, was full of incredibly old gas, the oil was tar, but it ran. Having changed the fluids out it runs quite well (gas engine)... leaks all over the place, and I ripped some bolts apart that were trying to keep the loader frame attached to the rear axle and the frame for the hoe, i lost all steering from a blowout and I may have been surfing the hoe through my swamp to retrieve a 4runner, or I guess they may have just broke from being old. also why I was moving along at 90 feet per gallon ... limped it to higher ground and am assessing the depth of what I want to repair for now. Need functionality for the summer, but next winter it's getting ripped apart and rebuilt inside. I was surprised to see people still talk about these relatively old machines, but as I understand it I got lucky here? Sure does dig well... ahhhhhh that woulda been a better name, Digwell... lol u guess I'll name the case that. Ha; Digwell.
