Case 200B backhoe loader

[Shopteach]

I'm considering the purchase of a '59 200B loader backhoe. I know nothing about these tractors and was looking for opinions. How durable are they? How easy are parts to find? What is the digging depth of the backhoe? I have a small acreage and would like a backhoe to dig stumps, move dirt etc. Any and all comments welcome.

It is a rather small unit and depending on the size stumps you are talking about, if you have lots of time you can remove fair size stumps, just not very fast.
As with any machine of this age, parts are iffy at best, depending on where you are located.
These older ones do not dig all that deep, maybe 8 feet or so at best on average.
