Case 320 backhoe

Working for a fella that has a 320 hoe that needs a clutch put in it. How hard of a job is
this on that tractor? Nice little tractor. Never saw a 320 before.

Those 320's are funny little machines. There must have been a sale around here on them, I have seen probably 5 in a 20 mile radius in the last 5 years. My grandfather had one, it was beat. Clutch slipped, engine smoked terrible, hyds leaked, he used the engine oil drained from his vehicles in the engine and hyds, which probably didn't help anything. He had the seat cobbled, had broken a spindle off the front end, so cut one off a 2wd 3/4 ton Ford truck and welded it to the remaining piece of the original spindle. I had a neighbor who was a close friend of my grandpa that wanted to buy it, so I sold it to him for steel price. He found another one at a neighbor a mile away with coolant in the oil, he bought that one for steel price too, and made a VERY nice 320 backhoe from the 2.
