I've got an older straight Case 1845 that I like pretty well. Having ran a couple with foot pedals for bucket and boom control at various times I still prefer my hand controls for the bucket and boom but it's really what you get used to running. I think the hand controls give you finer more gradual control than pedals (my opinion only)  Rated capacty is 1700# lift.

Case had their own bucket mounting brackets on some of the older machines so try and find one that has the universal skid loader attachment plate mounts and quick locking handles.  That opens up a lot more options as far as attachments. Additional hydraulics are also a nice feature to have. I ended up getting a custom mount and pallet forks from Berlon to fit my older machine. Requires removing 2 pins and some sliding wedges but it's not bad to make the switch.
