WaxMan's Modifications to the 2013 Grand L 3240 cab

[bumperm]

In the 70's I was a cop in Oakland, CA, last 3 years of that, an evidence tech. They sent me to FBI bomb school, and one of the examples of an anti-personnel bomb was a Zippo, just leave it on a park bench and you could be assured of some mayhem. Heck, even I might have fallen for that.

Your Zippo is a lot nicer, and more difficult to make.

Thanks but its just a prop does not work, but I have fooled many. See any recorders I'm missing? a lot of those recorders were classified. Not many people even new the existed.

Not sure on the backhoe , what do you think I should do , a smaller backhoe would be nice.

Get rid of it and get a mini excavator! (0;

Ahhh, Waxman is a fellow analog aficionado. While mine arent as small, but at 15ips the fidelity is certainly there. :thumbsup:

Sweet collection Waxman

If keep the bh92

What exactly is the issue?

The bh77 will take just as much room in garage

If I had the B77 I would leave it mounted to the tractor like a BX does, all folded up nice and neat, use it as a 1,000 lb ballast instead of an 1800 lb large crane.

My only concern, will the stabilizers lift the tractor and the two loaded monster tires off the ground.
How can I find out how much weight the stabilizers will lift?
I would also make a hydraulic thumb mod for it.

I don't think it matters that much whether it can lift the tires or not, as long as you are level that is. If they have full pressure down, then they are able to stabilize the force of the hoe.

Thanks mike, I just looked this up. It is an option for the Grand L 3560 open station, the weight on that machine is 3505 with HST I think my tractor is about 3700 with cab without tires so It should be ok.
I would be very disappointed if it did not lift up the wheels, It's nice to be up high when using the backhoe.
