1801 Ford Diesel Industrial Backhoe

Went to buy this today.Big issues. Seller started up and drove forward a few feet, heard a loud popping/clunking sound coming from left side of rear axle. WE asking seller to raise bucket/hoe slightly shut off engine and leave in neutral. Two of us pushed machine a few feet, same thing. Any ideas??

Could be anything from loose wheel nuts to a damaged ring gear,take the weight off the wheel and with a long pry bar see if there is any up and down play,the outer bearing may have failed,with a machine that age anything can have let go.
