This feels like the first time you back up a semi. Everything going in the wrong direction.

I've seen guys operating a backhoe so well they could peel a banana or scratch your back. I'm sure I'll get good at this, at least my wife is sure. She says things I like doing I do very well.

There are some really big *** rocks here. I think I'll have to move them with the Michigan or dig a hole and bury them.

The plan is to carve down the length of the barn, 20ft, about 35ft from where I am now. Be nice if I don't run into a rock I can't move, or do something with.

Practice, practice, practice!

Looks like a Chinese LW-7 hoe (maybe labeled Jinma or Giulin?). Is it
working OK?

dfkrug, The backhoe is a: JW03. Working OK! but I just blew a hose. The hydraulic fluid is coming out the bottom took a glance couldn't see it. It is up in side. I'm going to start a thread maybe I can find some one who has replaced that hose. Hope its a hose. Here are a couple shots to show where the fluid is coming from.

The fluid is coming out of the bottom of the moving arm. In the book they also call it a:Backhoe boom Assembly. I wonder if I hold the bucket arm up with a ,come a long to a beam,if I can work it on the tractor. I saw it had a small leak when I started, its not small now. Richard
