Ford 675 Backhoe questions...

[IC Smoke]

Hey gang!
I'm going to look at a Ford 675 backhoe tomorrow, appears to be in decent condition. It has 3200 hours but has a newer motor. I was unable to talk to the husband to find out the reason for the newer motor but Ill find out eventually.

Any typical things to look at on these fords and how well do they hold up? I've ran Case equipment for quite a few years.... hopefully the controls are the same:thud:

Thanks
Ian

Anyone?

Im going to look at it @530 today but the guy called and said comes with a 16" and 30" bucket, hes owned for the past 2 years, and the motor was replaced prior to his purchase. It was used to clear brush and put up a barn in that time. 4wd

he wants 17,300 but will work on the price if I was to come back and do some work for him.

worth it?

Thanks!
Ian
