Hi,
I traded a bobcat for a 1980 case 780 backhoe with 336 Turbo Diesel last night. I got a quick tutorial on how to use it from the prior owner but not even sure what all the buttons/switches do. I couldn't find an operators manual on the Case website, does anyone have one? Most of it is pretty self explanatory but there are a couple things not sure about. I didn't realize how huge this old beast is, I am digging rock so it should work good for that, but once I get through the HD digging prlly be looking at getting something smaller. If anyone has any tips/tricks/advice about these old guys let me know! I do not find much info online about them.
Here are a couple pics:
