New (to me) Case 580C

Looks good. It's nice to see old equipment that's still mostly all original and in good shape.

That should be a good back hoe for another 35 years.

I got a chance to spend a few hours with it this last weekend. I managed to dig out about a dozen stumps that had been bugging me for the last four years. I think my grin wore off Wednesday. For a 35 year old machine, it runs like a champ.

We have a very very worn 1983 JD 310B backhoe (60 HP) but it starts and runs and works. Adding a manual thumb really was a plus for cleaning up ground and moving/loading stuff. You have a real machine there. Some dropped some money getting cylinders rebuilt and hoses replaced. We are replacing ours when they break or we have to remove them for some reason. The hoses to and on the hoe have been replaced especial if they are hard to get too.

Glad you got to do some digging with it.
