So heres a questions for you guys.... check out the attachment....
See bolt, nut, and washer, #2, 3, and 6? Mine are installed in the other direction. Which has been bothering me because its a lot harder to line up the way I have it. Which do you think is more likely: the picture is wrong or the original installer put them in backwards?
I wish I had a manual for this thing. Can't even find one on eBay.

No, I was an aviation rating...I always tried to stay above water!
My certs were for aluminum, magnesum, stainless steels and a couple more exotic materials (most welded like stainless). Didn't get titanium.
Always liked aluminum the best...nice big shiny puddle and easy to see when you're welding. Plus, more useful for "government" jobs.

I suggest you go with how it's shown in the illustration. That backhoe has been around for at least ten years and it's no telling how many times someone's been in there tinkering.

I'm with Roy. I'm not sure that it would matter, but then I'm not an engineer either. I would trust the book before I would trust the way some unknown person did it.
I wish they made some aluminum flux-core wire. I have a need to weld AL every so often but I'm not buying gas just for it.
Hmm. I'm gonna have to look at it some more. I need to weld that side to the frame. I think it has to be the nut because I'm pretty sure the bolts hold the cylinders in the frame. I guess I'll get to that towards the end of the week.

I might be missing something, but it looks like 11, 12, & 13 hold the cylinders to the frame.

I doubt it matters; but when in doubt follow the manual.
So, no, those bolts don't hold the cylinders. It just looks like that before you look closer. I think I have to keep mine installed backwards actually. The bolts hold these tubes in place and I need them to stay put while attaching the hoe to the subframe. I'll figure it out shortly....
Some new pics follow in a minute.

I added the second ROPS bracket extension and took more pics of it than the first one. This one didn't come out nearly as crooked. Still not perfect but it doesn't really matter. You can make fun of my ugly welds this time.
I got the horizontal extension cleaned up too. It looks like its welded together lower than the first side. I'm gonna have to take both sides and line them up and make sure of that. Pics of that as soon as its not raining for the whole day!

You won't hear anything out of me. I'm willing to bet that yours look better than anything I could do. Especially since I've never welded.
