Folks,
I've found a Case 580C backhoe that appears to be in nice condition. The owner had the engine rebuilt and say everything operates fine, but indicated that it is hard to start when cold.
Shouldn't a rebuilt diesel engine start fairly easy in cold weather? I thought typically the reason diesels were sometimes hard to start when cold was due to worn cylinders and low compression.
Is this typical of these Case backhoes?
What other things should I be looking for on this machine that might indicate that it was either not well maintained or might have mechanical problems?
Thanks Shawn
