Info needed on old 1974 Deere Loader Backhoe

[PBinWA]

I saw this old 1974 John Deere Loader Backhoe on Craigslist.

See the attached picture.

Anyone know what model it is? I'm waiting for the owner to call me back.

Anyone have any good web sites for info on these things?

I know it will be "a project" but if it works then I'm cool with the "project" factor.

Thanks,

PB

PB,

It looks like a 300b. I think they were made from about 1974 to the early 80's (like 82 or 83?). Parts are readily available at your JD Ag dealers or Industrial dealers. I think they are great tractors. Is it gas or diesel? It looks like it has the optional non-adjustable solid front axle. Some also had a reverser, which is real nice. Check out www.weirddeere.com On the list on the left, click on N.G. Industrial Pictures.

Have fun,
Russ
