Outstanding work!

For the weekend a pair of vice grips clamped on there tight will do. If it’s the positive make sure it can’t contact anything.

I had to do the same back in June. It’s not easy. Best friend for 8 years got it in his thyroid’s. Sorry for your families loss.

I see Kabota quite often.

Heat, penetrating lube, lots of back and fourth. Broke the handle off one side when using a cheater bar on it. Welded back on.

When I bought mine 17 years ago mine were seized also. It was a fight but I won. When I reassembled I anti seized the parts so they wouldn’t give me any issue. Now it stays undercover 99% of the time so that helps as well.

There’s a plug on the left side right by the dipstick. Pulls out, does not have threads. Kinda gotta use a flexible or bent funnel to get in there or the oil makes a mess. Looks like this but probably does not say oil on it

That rod is nothing special. You can probably make one out of 1/2” emt conduit and smash the ends flat in a vice then drill 2 holes in each end. I’ll attach some pics for reference and current length. (45” center to center)

I was able to buy a new production husco section last year I added a spool to my hoe for a thumb. This is the company I mail ordered from http://hydraulic-supply.com/

thanks, it’s a 14k gross trailer I got last fall. I may of been a bit heavy for 2 of the loads but it still dumped well. Backing a gooseneck is very different from a bumper pull that I could thread the needle with. I can use some practice on the GN for sure. CT river valley tobacco leaf is alive...

I believe the valve sections are made by Husco, at least the ones on the backhoe are. Replacement should be out there to keep the factory control operating like oem which would be preferred. Look at the specs in the husco catalog for a part number and start searching from there.

Scored 3 dump trailer loads of log length oak yesterday for firewood for the 27-28 burning season.

Yes all the roots were dry rotten but the stump was still a solid ball!

I dug an oak tree stump out of the ground that I had cut down about 5 years ago. She was a big one but being dead for 5 years made the battle a bit easier.
