Wanted: A Specific Case 530 CK Backhoe, sold within the last year by Watford City

Wanted: A Specific Case 530 CK Loader-Backhoe

This specific Case 530 CK Loader-Backhoe was recently sold, within the last year or so, by Watford City, North Dakota. More specifically, Southwest of Watford city.

I was told, by the neighbor who sold it, that whoever bought it made a cash offer and had (he was pretty sure but not certain) Georgia plates.

This backhoe was bought new by my great uncle, then when he retired, he wouldn't sell it, then it was sold on a moving auction to a neighbor in 2016. I have been trying to buy it since that auction.

When it was sold at the auction, the throwout bearing was out, and as far as I know it still was out when it was recently sold, it had chains and chain hooks welded to the boom and to the backhoe lever housing to hold it up in transport. It did not have a torque converter, and I do not recall if it was a shuttle shift or not. It was a gasoline powered tractor.

If you were the one who bought it, let me know, even if you do not want to sell it currently, as if/when you do decide to sell it, I would like to buy it. If you know of any information on this backhoe, please let me know.

The only picture that I have found of it, is the tractor serial number plate, which is attached here.

Thank you.

The Serial Number tag reads:

Model: G530B

No. 8212573
