I found a 1986 CaseW20c wheel loader for $8500. Tires look pretty new. I drove it yesterday. It runs really good with 60psi oil pressure at idle before fully warm. Engine is said to have been rebuilt 2 years ago with no documentation. It runs and the bucket works. I scooped some dirt/mud with it. I think there’s some play in the steering. The owner said it’s normal. The main fuel tank is clogged so it was running off a 5 gallon jerry can on the fender. I have a little 12hp Kubota diesel 4x4 that I’m using unsuccessfully for snow removal (Sierra cement). I thought this would be a big sledge hammer to get the job done. I’m afraid of the fact that it’s not emissions compliant here in California and how would I sell it when I’m done.
