No matter when the topic was started, it's all relevant...minus the dated remarks

I suppose so...but maybe not exactly?

Probably better to start a new thread if you have a question, and if you have a reply to an almost ten year old thread, may be best to hold you tongue, as it is likely irrelevant to the OP?

History is always good.
These machines do not change dramatically over time.
We do not need to care if the OP receives a benefit, just as long as someone might!

Ditch Witch came up with a simple solution to locking the bucket from swinging when not in use. They have a chain hook welded to each side of the boom. On each outrigger a chain is welded about 1/3rd the distance up from the foot. When the outrigger is up put the chain in the hook. Every thing stays in place and no chance of any damage by accident. Both chains easily reached from the seat on the hoe when done.

I tend to agree. Then again, I've noticed that seems to be the norm from most.

I've often replied, then deleted my response afterwards.

Bought the M59 backhoe separately, used, missing swing lock pin. Made one from scrap pile parts. Handle length sufficiently long enough to easily reach from operator station.

Handy when tapping the mounting pins in or out.

A hammer is always useful!

Come on man, a claw hammer, the least you could have done was a Mini Sledge or a Ball Pein hammer head.

HAHAHA, Excellent Idea!
