Hi guys. I've been looking for a used backhoe for years to put on my 2001 NH TC33D. I definately have uses for one, but not enough uses to justify buying a new one. I finally came across a used Case 757C that I'm told should fit just fine on my TC33D. I am purchasing it from a Case dealership and I talked them into installing it for me. I have an appointment next Saturday (9/25) to bring it in.
The Case dealership said it will run of my rear remote that I normally have hooked up to my hydraulic top link. When I later called my NH dealership they agreed it should be able to run off my rear remote, but they said I would probably have to use a bungee cord to hold the control lever for my rear remote into position.
I'd rather not have to use a bungee cord, and I want to make sure I'm not doing anything to damage my hydraulics. The Case dealership doesn't have the manuals for the 757C, but it looks like I can order them online directly from Case. I already purchased and downloaded the PDF version of their owners manual, but it doesn't really cover installation.
I can order the installation manual for the backhoe subframe, but that only comes in print version and I don't know that I would get it before next Saturday. So I thought I would ask here to see what you guys know about hooking a 757C up to a Class II Boomer.
The preview image shown on Case's website of the subframe installation manual refers to hooking up a hydraulic kit to run the backhoe. The diagram refers to "power beyond". When I asked my NH dealership if I could get a hydraulic kit or power beyond kit, they said my loader joystick is already hooked up to my power beyond port. They said I could convert my steel high-pressure return line from my loader valve to a flexible hose with a quick-disconnect and then when I wanted to use the backhoe I would disconnect that flexible line and use it for the backhoe, making my loader inoperable. He said I wouldn't be using the loader and the backhoe at the same time anyway.
So what's the real scoop on running hydraulics for the backhoe? I don't want to spend a bunch of extra money to have the optimal hydraulic hook-up for it, but I don't want to have an inconvenient way either. Most of all I don't want to do anything that could potentially damage my tractors hydraulic system.
Thanks, Spence
