Good to be aboard your site. I live on Vancouver Island BC and own a 1971 Case CK530 loader/backhoe. I have owned it for 30 years or so and have cleared 3 properties with the old girl. Tore down three buildings and buried a number of horses. Bought it with no brakes and still has no brakes. I rebuilt the engine in 1985 and it is still running strong. I change oil every year and keep welding up the cracks. She is an awesome old girl- I love her to death. Now my son bought the place next door (3 acres) and he is starting to use it to clear his land. This is a great machine. Glad to be aboard..
