8B Backhoe On A 4200?

The final product and the trial fit...

 

[arrabil]

Perfect fit. Need to measure for level and weld it up.

9.5" ground clearance. As good as I can do actually.

The drawbar was in the neighbor's scrap pile and will become the top link. The kid likes his new toy.

Wow, you really are short. No trouble with hitting your head on the ROPS there.:laughing::laughing:

Nice build. Looks great.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

The toplink is installed. It REALLY affects the stability in a good way.

You can see its mounted pretty straight.

And it clears my worst transition so thats perfect!

Ooh, the first hole! And some on-site glam shots.

It digs pretty good. Lots of power. The valve needs a rebuild. Some of the movements stick. Others cause the engine to bog. A couple work just fine. The stabilizers cause the relief valve to go off. Its a $279 kit to rebuild the control valve and the relief valve. I might have to spend the money on that and flush every hose too. At that point I might as well rebuild all the cylinders too. A project for a different summer.
