JCB BACKHOE LOADER. THIS WAS A CITY OF HOUSTON UTILITY DISTRICT HOW. IT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND MAINTAINED. IT WAS BLUE IN COLOR I REPAINTED IT IN MY SHOP WHEN I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS A FOUR CYLINDER PERKINS DIESEL AND IS WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN MY 580 CASE MACHINE EVENTHOUGH MY CASE IS MUCH NEWER. I THINK THIS IS 1979 OR 1980 I HAVE HAD IT FOR SO  LONG I FORGOT. JUST HAD THE MAIN  BOOM CYLINDER REBUILT AND ALL THE PARTS WERE ONLY $79.00 THAT SURPRISED ME. IT WAS LEAKING DOWN UNDER A LOAD, NO PROBLEM NOW.  THE FRONT LOADER BUCKET IS QUITE UNIQUE IT IS A BITER BUCKET AND PUSH BLADE THEY CALL IT A FOUR WAY BUCKET. YOU CAN BITE A CHUNK OUT OF SOMETHING AND PICK IT UP AND DUMP IT QUITE EASIELY REALLY GOOD TO REMOVE DEBRI OR TRASH. IT ALSO HAS AN EXTEND-A-HOE FEATURE THAT I LIKE, SEEMS YOU ARE JUST OUT OF REACH FROM WHERE YOU ARE SITIING SO YOU HAVE AN EXTRA 5 FEET WITH THIS MACHINE,

THIS IS A GOOD MACHINE AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE COMPARED TO $75,00.00 FOR NEW. COME TRY IT OUT BEFORE YOU PURCHASE IT IF YOU LIKE.
