Hello.I inherited my father's CASE 350 Diesel track loader. I have never driven or maintained anything like this. I have fond memories of my father using it for virtually everything, however, and I think I'm going to need to get started learning about this thing. For starters, it appears to have been running at the time he passed away. That was three years ago. What sort of maintainance should I do before attempting to start it? I have a garage full of heavy equipment tools and automotive know-how... but I never worked on something this large. How hard can it be? ;-) Next, how can I determine its year of manufacture?
I think it was built in the 70's. Are their any quick start guides for figuring out which level controls what? I realise most work the bucket... but its parked in a tight space, and I would like to avoid running it out the side of the garage trying to get it out of the spot. I am curious what to look for as far as hooking up a backhoe. I have a CASE backhoe... but I'm not sure if they go together. How does the backhoe get it's power? Hydraulics? Where/how does that get connected? Finally, for a really stupid question. I really could use a tree spade. Is it possible to hook this up to a tree spade of some sort? Lots of questions. Will appreciate any answers of thoughts. BKNJ
