Early Case CK Backhoe

[JesseA]

Hello All - I just purchased an older Case backhoe. I believe it is a Construction King 530 but the stickers are new and the paint is thick. I’ve looked up and down to determine what year and model it is as I need new seals on all the backhoe cylinders and quite a few other things. I know it’s a 4cyl gasser, it has the Triplrange sticker and I can confirm I have low, direct, and high on the shift lever. It also has the manual shift lever that allows the PTO to spin. Every model I find has a different seat and different cylinder styles. These have 4 rods that hold it together. Anybody have any ideas on the year and correct model number? I can’t find any actually identifying numbers. Pics are attached. If there are any specific pictures that would help let me know and I’ll reply with them.

I greatly appreciate any input.

Welcome to the Forums.

I suggest you post this on the Case and David Brown Forum here, I think it may get more views by the Case guys who follow that forum.

You can use the Contact Us button and ask a moderator to move it if you wish.

Either way, there is no problem with it being here.

I can't help you, I'm not familiar with those machines.

Just wanted to say that's a good looking old girl. Looks like it's been looked after.

The outriggers date the hoe to the early days of Case backhoes. Perhaps 1955.

Thank you. From what I can find I’m thinking it’s either a 310 or 310b model.

Welcome, Jesse. Nice looking tractor. Just so you know, "These have 4 rods that hold it together" makes them "tie rod cylinders", as opposed to "welded cylinders".

Thank you for that information!
