Dad bought an old Case backhoe the other day and they delivered it today. I thoroughly enjoyed watching him get it off the trailer having never operated one before lol

Been running Case Backhoes for the last 15 years at work, I like them, but of coarse when we f*** them up we can just drop them off at the garage. Is that a 4 stick or 3 stick with foot swing? Been a long time since I run anything besides wobble stick or pilot controls. Something like that would be very handy around the house.

I’m all about pilot controls personally, and I prefer to run the ground gear with my feet on skid steers, I can do both though.

Think he paid $8k? Looks to be in pretty good shape considering it's age. It's a 1987 model
I assume that’s the 4 popper version of a really good engine? Still a lot of those running.

Think my dishwasher just bought the farm... Uugghh. Wife said it didn't drain this afternoon and when I checked it, it's just flashing and doesn't respond to any input. Got it to drain by flipping the breaker and doing some sorcery with the buttons after watching a YouTube video. Thought it might be good to go but it's DOA again and just flashing. It's about 9 years old and a cheaper Whirlpool unit so it doesn't really surprise me. Anybody replace one recently and have any recommendations or models to stay away from?

That’s a crap shoot, I put in a GE about 9 years ago and it’s still going strong. We use it probably 3 times a week on average.

I know, that's what sucks. Just going to let the wife check them out and get what she wants. Luckily it decided to s*** the bed while everybody has everything on sale.
