In the late 1070's Clark Construction Machinery Division of Clark Equipment Co. purchased the Lima Crane Company located in Lima Ohio. One of the products Lima was about to unveil was the model 2205 Backhoe. As an employee of Clark I was assembling a collection of Clark Michigan models and quickly found that this one was nearly impossible to acquire. After years of searching I found this one which has always been in our dry smoke free home. It has been unboxed only for photos. Even the box is in like new condition.
