We have a used NH TC40D with a Sub-frame Backhoe - we do not have the manual.
The remotes used to operate the BH are installed through one of the controls to the right of the seat. These controls have picture-indicators that show them to be controls for cylinders, perhaps a top link, since they can be pushed forward or backward and are in center position by default.
In order for the BH to operate the closest of these controls must be "held" in the back position - this is being done by wrapping a stiff wire around the handle to hold it back. (and, yes, it came this way) Held this way works. I know I can install a locking device on the tractor that will do a better job then the wire, but it just seems there should be a better way.
Is there a better place/way to connect the remotes for the backhoe that would work better and perhaps give better flow to the hoe and allow the remote that is currently being used for the hoe to again work for something like a top-link?
