1959 Case 420B Backhoe with loader. Massey-Ferguson, 4-cylinder, gas engine. Well cared for by precision machinist and mechanic who has since passed. Case Tag Reads: Model 420-B--H, No. 6129530
It starts easy, runs well, and all hydraulics (boom, bucket, outrigger stabilizers, etc.) do work. Everything having to do with ignition/spark has been replaced. New oil and filter, hydraulic fluids partially flushed.
Most of the rubber hydraulic lines are cracked, same with tires, which I replaced only if they leaked. It\'s rusty, but very solid, and has some nicely done weld repairs.
Between last fall and this spring, something happened to the clutch (or related) and will not move in forward or reverse when in gear and clutch is released (seems like too little pressure required to push down clutch pedal).
I have both the Owner\'s Manual and Parts Catalog for it.
Would be a good machine for someone with time, money, or knowledge to fix.
