    Need some backhoe hydraulic help

    I checked the lever behind the 3 pt hitch lever. Some kids took it on a joy ride awhile back and I couldn't be sure they didn't move it. I tried it in both directions> no change. It has a notch on the front side,I am pretty sure it's always been at that point.

    Need some backhoe hydraulic help

    I found a picture of the supply and return on the internet> I have triple checked it and the hoses are hooked up right. Now I am thinking it's one of the quick connects. 3 of them operate easy and one is hard(female one)does that sound about par for the course? No bad comment! Anybody have the...

    #10 backhoe ? front end loader ?

    I have a 1990 2155 John Deere with a 175 loader and a #10 backhoe. Recently I left the key in it and some local kids took it for a joy ride. Apparently they hadn't driven a tractor before and ran it into a tree, bending the loader bucket. I straightened the bucket, but now it won't articulate...

    Tig welders

    I had a miller Dynasty 200 DX and needed some money awhile back and sold it. I got the same amount I paid for it because the prices had gone up so much. I am now in need of another tig machine. Are there any good ones out there for less money than another Miller? The Dynasty was great and I...
