Thank you!

Sure is a lot of work. I may not keep the backhoe. I was thinking of turning back to a agricultural tractor.

Who's the manufacturer of the backhoe? I would leave the backhoe on if it was me. I think it would be a real shame to lose it.

The backhoe was made by "HamJern" in Norway. They made a lot of backhoes in the 50/60's.

Hi Frode and welcome.
I agree with the quote, don't loose the backhoe if you can avoid it.
I'm sure it will be worth the effort if you can keep it.

I'll have to see. Most of the rams need rebuilding, one of the spools for the outriggers are leaking, and the hoe is so heavy that you do a wheelie when taking off, even with the heavy county frontaxle, hydraulic tank and the big dozer blade... :) Seems like its in good condition though, not a lot of slop in it.
