I spent years looking at used backhoe's. I've been to 4 Richie Brothers auctions, driven all over my home province looking at used backhoe's, at private sellers and dealers. I've looked at everything from Kubota B21, L48, JD 110, many Case 580L, 580M, 580SM etc... Here are my tips (originally I...

Hi rScotty, It looks like you have a quick coupler installed. You can ignore what I said about pin on thumbs interfering with bucket changes since you have the quick coupler. You would probably want to keep this as it makes bucket changes easier. Without a quick coupler the bucket and thumb...

His aux circuit is clearly two way (it operates the thumb), there is no such thing as a pressure side vs return side in that case. Both sides are equally capable of generating pressure depending on which way the valve is operated. I posted the pages from the parts manual which clearly shows...

Are you basing that on fact or the observation that a hose blew? Just curious. I'm no expert on Takeuchi excavators but looking at the parts manual page 8-2, the valve block has ORV on both the bucket and the aux circuit. It looks like the aux circuit is the third valve, see above parts...

Serial Number: Ex Works date: Engine Number: 310245 29-Nov-1984 LH50133U/981937L Here is what I THINK are your parts diagrams, I'd go to a dealer and make sure I looked up the right parts. For newer machines the program allows me to type in the serial number and it gives...

Hi, I've searched the past posts and read up on the 110TLB. I understand the desirable options would be skid plates and front/rear remotes. I have looked at one at a dealer and had some questions. It doesn't have skid plates. I did notice a few small dents on one of the filters. Is what I'm...

Here's a few pictures of the hydraulic stone splitter I am finishing up building. It is similar to a log splitter in lots of ways. Main difference is there is a bottom blade. It uses two hydraulic cylinders, 6" bore 10" stroke. For blades I used the log splitter blades from Northern Tool, as...
