As in the title really guys, my somewhat longer than expected backhoe restoration and refit project is now finally completed, and i must say that i'm very pleased with the results so far.
Its taken a lot longer than i had hoped to honest , mainly due to work commitments and family probs but got there in the end.
the backhoe has been pretty well rebuilt from the ground up with new bushes /pins seals etc all over with the exception of a few rams that did seem to be ok, and i didnt skimp on it either, if a pin was a little worn , i replaced it with a new item or fabricated the new part.
I had to fabricate a complete new 2- peice subframe from scratch to facilitate the fittment onto my B8200, one half is a permant fitment on the backhoe and the other half is a fittment on the tractor.
Anyway all turned out well.
tried it out today and it is a really great piece of kit, way more powerfull than i expected to be honest.
added one quick pic from my phone, but will upload more of the whole assembly etc in the next few days.
