I'm a part owner of a plumbing and heating company and when we bought the company a few years ago we wound up with this 1973 Case 580B hoe. It's in working condition but by far not something we would risk putting on a jobsite. Starts right up (after I installed a new starter) hoe is pretty sloppy, no backup alarms, gauges are sketchy, etc. Right rear outrigger is getting rebuilt now, you can see the bad leak in the pic. I now own it outright and am using it on 220 acres of cutover to dig up stumps and make roads. Once we have our roads done I'll be looking to trade/sell it for a tractor. What do you guys think it might be worth? Just curious.

I was thinking atleast $4k now that I've got the cylinder leak fixed and the new starter installed.

Thx.
