comparing descriptions from previous posts i believe it is a model 32 loader, and post 64 tractor from what you said about the steering pistons.

- 1963 case 530 CK backhoe
I bought a 1963 530 CK backhoe recently .Hydraulics seem to work well . I have replaced some hoses-not fun but not terrible.When I tried to service it,the hydraulic filter housing (right side in front of battery) was dry,not even a film of oil.This is a torque converter model.Tempted to just close it up and use it but I hate to go without a filter

Good to see that you found this thread. There is a wealth of 530 CK information here and some knowledgeable folks. Hopefully they will chime in. I've no idea on your filter problem but just wanted to post so as to follow along and maybe learn something.

Do you think that the filter was bypassed for some reason? I've never seen that before, but not too hard to do. Just odd....
Most filters are on the suction side of the hydraulic pump and some have an internal bypass to prevent starving the hydraulic pump. If you have a hydraulic chart for your machine & post it we could see if anyone has an idea.
