1978 CASE 580C BACKHOE

GovAuctions Summary

A 1978 Case 580C wheeled backhoe with a standard bucket, from the City of Keewatin, sold as-is and pickup only. Farmers, excavation contractors and antique-tractor collectors are the likely buyers, and it suits a refurbish or parts play. Check the reported fluid leaks and the beat-up frame, and note there is no hours meter, so the engine condition needs to be checked by hand.
