Hi Ed, I tend to agree with Old Hokie, if it meshes and turns the pump it will likely work for a long time. I had the same leak this spring and just replaced the pump seal. As you say mine was rectangular but yours looks quite symmetrical so perhaps the design was changed?

Here is how I turned the corner on the trench. Not a big deal but sometimes the question is asked. ;)

I’m working on my backhoe dolly and the backhoe hydraulic cylinders have sprung a few new leaks. I need help finding seal kits as well. :(

We dug a 50’ trench about 24” deep and installed the 30” barrier on the angle so future roots come to the surface. My son helped me plant the barrier on Father’s day! He is off to grad school so I really appreciate him being home. :)

I have a small clump of golden bamboo growing on one side of our property. This year the roots are invading our berry patch. I ordered 75” of “bamboo shield”. this is a 30” wide, 80 mil plastic root barrier: https://lewisbamboo.com/products/bamboo-barrier-8030?variant=37050693615775 Here are...

We won’t match the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) man for man. We need technology/armament advantage.

Peace and love. Be kind.

Can you lift the outriggers with those on? I ask because I’m always lifting mine up to move along as I dig the trench. They look great!

I filled my tires and don’t remove the fill when using the backhoe. If the backhoe was on all the time I would not have filled them but it makes no difference when it is on. Actually the little tractor gets tossed about a bit by the backhoe so I think the extra weight is good. 😉

Why do they need a person tending each plow share?

Best to get the workshop manual with electrical diagram. Folks will chime in soon. Welcome To OTT!

I agree with D2, you can get a wider one and cut it down. As for size, consider the angled width. My tractor is 4’ wide but my blade is 5’ so when angled it is 4’.

That thong looks like the part that is cut out to make a pair of chaps!

I think you have it right, I relied on the caster plate to hold the two boards together. Likely I need a backer on the top as well. I like the idea of metal and may spend a weekend welding soon. Good question about the other casters - they are all fine. My lean-to tractor shelter has a slanted...

I’ve not used my backhoe in a year or more and the wooden backhoe dolly has collapsed on one caster. I guess the wood isn’t strong enough, one caster collapsed. Time to rebuild. Curious about member experience with wood or metal dollies? I was able to get the backhoe onto my tractor with a...

Nice! Post some photos when she gets the plow set up.

Hi Digby, those wheels/tires look original and should not cause problems. The hub issues are more about loosening up and rocking on the axle. Not a wheel or tire issue, just a weak point in the design.

Is the gravel smooth and round, like pea gravel? That stuff stays loose. or is it rough edged crusher gravel?

Do you have any other PTO powered implements? I ask if this issue is specific to this PTO shaft and female connector or if other implements may also stick at the same spot.

Yep
