I need help!!. I have opp to get a really clean JD300 with a front loader (used to have a backhoe too -but no more ) .
I understand (correctly ??) that it is based on the 1020 tractor ? I can 'see' a tractor when I get past that big front bucket anyway .
It has a 3cyl gas motor that currently doesnt want to start ...I suspect a gummed up carb from vintage gasoline -so he will drop the price to $4,000 ..is that a fair price ??
As this thing is really 'construction equipment' built on a farm tractor chassis it seems to fall thru the gaps relative to JD discussion groups -is there another group where my questions maybe wont feel so out of place ??
ANY assistance will be greatly appreciated by this absolute beginner .....

Seems like an okay price if the engine isn't trashed. It's basically the same engine used in the 350 crawler. I looked at a 300 diesel loader-backhoe for sale recently, here in central New York State. These machines are kind of scarce and use a strange, single-cylinder swing in the hoe. This machine was beat, broken, and/or welded everywhere but the engine and reverser worked. I reluctantly offered $3600 and the guy wouldn't take less than $3900, so I don't own it. I must say, though, it was a rugged built machine, just abused. Seems the design has a weak spot where the front end bolts to the engine.

Major component wise it is the same as a 1020. It could have a hyd. directional reverser. It has the large capacity hyd. pump,and heavier front axle. Ground drive pto and 3pth can be added to it without alot of problem if you desire these options. The loader is a very stout industrial version, and the tractor will require wheel weights and a heavy rear weight of some kind if you intend to use the loader to its capacity. Other than drivetrain,you can�t compare this to a 1020 with an ag loader.

Thanks for the info (it is hard to find !!) .
This one already has the PTO and 3-pt hitch fitted ,so the implements I have for my Ford 8N will hopefully all work with it .
It SURE is stout !
