Thanks for the photo's. Your hitch and wings look real nice. I welded a hook on each of my Backhoe buckets today so I could attach a Gradeblade "squeegee blade" and a "crumbing blade" purchased from this site Hall's Dirt Squeegee Blade - All Steel - 100% American Made. They are good heavy duty pieces and come with everything you need to hook them up. My welding needs alot of practice (wouldn't dare post pics of my welds!)
Just want to add that I really enjoy all the pics you post of your projects around the "house-to-be"! I wonder if the L39 is going to see alot less seat time with the PC75 around?!
My wife can operate the L39 and can use the loader with reasonable skill. She is slower than I am which is a lot kinder to the L-39. Akso the L-39 will be planting a lot of trees, trenching and doing loader work. My wife will get some lessons on the backhoe.
We had a setback with the thumb install. So much for the best laid plans. The solution is a brand new bucket. The back and piviot attachment point will be changed so the new bucket closes wuth the thumb and will hold items much better than if we tried to modify the original bucket USA Attachments gave me a super deal.
