My new toy.

My latest antique motorized machine is a 71. I did a bunch of landscaping this past couple years and had aquired a Case 1835 uniloader for that. It was very handy. I have basically completed all the projects with it so I sold it and upgraded. I picked up a John Deere 310 backhoe. The hour meter is broken at 4200 hours. But the machine seems to be in great shape overall. My next project involve a little deeper holes than the skidsteer was made for.
Bye bye little buddy!

Nice... I have a pretty close relationship with my 410. I've been under it way too many times. Make sure you only use the "watery" trans/hydraulic fluid in it. My father in law used mine and after blowing some hoses refilled with hyd 68 and it's been "fun" ever since. Mine's a '76.

Good to know. Yup that’s the big brother! I pondered a 410. The jump in weight was my decider. This little guy is just under 13000lbs.
