My EA 55" Grapple dolly build is Here Already been 5 yrs since first built. On my concrete floor it sure is nice to roll it off to the side when not in use and right up to the front of the tractor when it is needed for a quick hook up.

If the book says 20.6 inches: 20 9/16" equals 20.625 inches. My guess is that's the exact match. I doubt the extra .025" would cause any problems. :LOL: Thus the 396-787 should work.

If you're in the woods in the Bemidji, MN area..... I doubt you'll encounter much wind driven, hard packed snow drifts like we can get here in North Dakota open areas. You'll do well with anything just a little wider than your rear tread spread. And like mentioned above, on the rare occasion...

If one takes into account the normal shop rates charged these days, that doesn't sound unreasonable for the amout of repairs done along with the new parts. And on a very nice tractor to boot!!

I was going to mention...but @RCW mentioned it above.... One of the most important if not the most important thing is to keep the loaded bucket as low as possible while doing your work. Keep it low between points A and B if your moving materials. Raise it up to dump only when you're at your...

Bee-Positive that’s interesting info, thanks! And it jives with my questionable memory of where this motor came from. This motor most likely came out of some equipment we scrapped at work (power company) back in the ‘70s or real early ‘80s. Yes, it is a start capacitor….but it’s also more...

NIW I do too. But I’d bet (well….almost bet :ROFLMAO:) that they’re all “capacitor start” motors with a centrifugal switch that disconnects the start capacitor almost instantly once the motor is almost up to full speed. This motor is a permanent capacitor run motor….meaning there’s no...

Dustball, Thanks for the great response! I need a new search engine as I could only find one picture online of the motor…..and with no capacitor included. The link in your post definitely shows it to be the exact same motor. And definitely a standard “electrolytic” start capacitor. Apparently...

There’s been a nice little motor in my project shelf for years while waiting for an application. Don’t know or can’t remember what it was off of. It may have come with its “run capacitor” but I’m not sure….and can’t find it if it did. Most likely, I rescued the motor off some outdated equipment...

I don't know your tractor or backhoe, so I'm only going by your pictures posted above. At this point, might an option be to take a thin cut off wheel and cut through the pin in the widest gap area. It would split the resistance in two making it easier to twist free the one section. It would...

From your last pics, it looks like the top brackets on the backhoe itself have been bent for some reason? that would explain why the pins seem to be locked in place. Both sides of the top brackets should be resting equally against the subframe mount location? At least on my BH77 they are. Are...

I have one on my B2650....run off of the 3rd function controls, which makes it easy to reverse the cutters when it plugs to a halt. Or switch directions just to give a brief rest the the 3rd function valves. I also have to kind of agree with @PHPaul in that it doesn't really live up to the...

On my BH77, once the backhoe is in the saddle/mount with the lower backhoe pins....I need to slightly raise my outriggers so that the backhoe is completely resting on those lower pins. Then using the boom & dipper to pivot the rest of the backhoe frame firmly up against the upper mounts....my...

@Rokee95 "Congrats" on your quick sale!!

It can't get any cleaner or nicer looking than that!! Somebody will be very happy with your sale!!! Hopefully it won't take long. A neighbor is looking for such a rig. But you're a might bit far from North Dakota for a weekend trip to pick it up.

When the price of diesel was extremely low a few years ago, I added a second bulk tank for off road diesel. 500 gallons total capacity. At that time, they were both filled to the brim with $1.39 per gallon....tax and delivery included. My neighbor and I finally drew the last 5 gallons out of...

Last Jan/Feb had been so cold here that this used to be a full sized screwdriver! It was time to empty some "project bins" and stay in the shop as much as possible. In addition to restoring the old fashioned malt mixers, the vintage stand mixers are kind of fun to bring back to life. These...

Moots is correct. I do have the backhoe plumbed in. In this post Post #5 towards the bottom of the post you'll see the extra hydraulic fitting I welded a small bracket to. That bracket bolted to the side of the tractor and along with its hydraulic coupler....the return line to tank coupled...

RLinNH, it's an easy "chew" to install it yourself !! My B2650 install write up that @MOOTS referenced is here Edit: I had to go back and look at what year I installed mine. April of 2020, almost exactly 5 yrs ago. I haven't had any issues with it during that time.

At that price, you could afford to have it sit in the corner until needed. LOL But I'm sure you'd first be sandblasting and giving it a fresh Kubota orange paint job. The Catepillar Yellow desn't really compliment Kubota's orange color! :LOL:
