[Mark Greer]

Look for a Case 430 or 530 Construction King backhoe/loader tractor. A guy
around the corner has one that I've used a couple of times and I'm
considering buying one of my own. They are easy enough to operate and old
enough to be easy to work on. I've seen a few around here in the last 2
years in the $4500-$8000 range.
