I hoping to get to build my backhoe this year have PF engineering's plans I already have a kwikway loader but see if the money comes though

Ken what size is your rear tires?

Good job Ken!! My only question, what took you so long to get it set up like that! LOL! I'll say it again, GOOD JOB!

Question:
Where did you get, or what model/brand of backhoe is that?
Also, are you running a PTO driven hydraulic pump, and where is the reservoir?

Nicely done! I like it. But rather than tapering the pins, which would give you a loose fit and potentially a wear issue, I'd weld locating angled tabs on the arms, so that the BH's rings would settle into a "corner" of the angled tabs at just the right location to achieve alignment. That's actually how the QA works on my Kubota BX23 loader. The kubota's QA on the BH has a more complicated arrangement for the upper pins.

I think he meant just putting a taper on the end, so it wouldn't be so hard to start the pin into the hole. :beerchug:

rear tires are the OEM size for the supers 26x12-12 i have Carlise tru powers

the backhoe is a Value leader brand. its suppose to be a CAT 1 pto drive. but i modified it to make it work for me.

the hydraulics run off the kwik-way loader pump and the reservoir is in the uprights of the loader.
