- 1958 Massey Harris Ferguson 202 loader/backhoe
Hi, I'm fairly new here but I see the enormous amount of knowledge out here! So I thought I'd see if I could get any advice on possibly buying an old loader/backhoe. I already posted in the MF forum regarding one I saw for sale for $3,000. It's operational but with some issues. Now I am hoping to go check out a 1955 International 300 Utility with backhoe/loader. Here is the ad:
1955 International 300 Utility tractor with same vintage Henry brand backhoe/loader. Runs good, tires good, rare backhoe, a collectable tractor. Buckets and some cylinders were rebuilt a few years ago. Some newer pins, bushings and hoses. Old and loose, but would make a good yard machine and/or restoration project.
I tried to include the pics, hope they come out.
I know it's not much to go on but any thoughts/advice?
