A 1997 Case 590 Super L backhoe with 6,084 hours, shuttle transmission, engine runs good but hydraulic pump is weak, resulting in reduced system performance. Sells to small contractors and equipment rebuilders willing to refurbish the hydraulic system. Before bidding, confirm the main pump and cylinders are not seized, and get a pressure gauge on the auxiliary line, since a weak pump can signal imminent failure or a simple fluid issue.
Estimated flip margin and comp range available with Pro. Summary may occasionally contain inaccuracies; check the full description before bidding.
