[QUOTE="Hotrod1830, post: 110060, member: 4331"] I agree with all of the above. I had a 310, that used a clutch drive. If Im not mistaken, they actually used the same clutch as the bigger 610. I actually enjoyed using that machine. Only real reason I got rid if it and moved to a 463 is more auxillary flow, and diesel. the only drawback that I didnt like about the clutch machine was the lack of hydraulic braking. Meaning, if the sticks were in neutral, the machine would roll at will. Beyond that, they were just as smooth and never lacked power. The 610 will lift and push far more than your 453 and is a bigger machine, period. when you have a chance to use it, you may actually grow to accept it. outdated...yes. more than capable of doing the job...yes. At $400 you really cant go wrong. Get it in the shop and see what it needs. Worse case you sell it for parts and make money. There are plenty of parts available for the old wisconsin engines. No real reason to replace it if it is repairable. Im betting you can fix it and sell it for a reasonable price to make somebody a perfect farm or homestead skidsteer. [/QUOTE]
