Backhoe question

[DavesTractor]

If I had one on the lot I'd snap a picture and show you. But I don't. I have zero 4530 on the lot and zero backhoes on the lot to fit a 4530 at the moment.

I'd call your dealer and tell him the situation and he ought to be fixing you up properly. Someone dropped the ball, either the kit was wrong or incomplete, or it was not installed correctly. We install over 100 backhoes a year and never do you need to remove the sub frame to reinstall the three-point. That would be a really, really bad system.

Captain Jack,
Your subframe kit should have came with some extensions for both stabilizer bars. Mine are about 4-5 inches long and let the stabilizer bars clear the subframe. I'll try to get a photo posted soon.

I have a Bradco 511, which is same as your, but just a little bigger. I'll look in my 511/509 parts manual for the extension numbers.

Brandi?

You rang?:confused3: Sorry for the delay. I'm down with a nasal infection.:smiley_aafz: Go here for further Bradco backhoe research... .................http://www.bradcoattachmentsonline.com/Paladin_2013.pdf
You should have got an owners manual, an installation manual, and a parts manual with your backhoe.

Here are photos of the stabilizer extension for my 511 subframe. It is the "Y" shaped extension that is cotter pinned to the stabilizer.

I'd scan the parts break down and illustration , but my scanner is hooked up to my PC and the PC is on the fritz. The sway extension link is Bradco/Mahindra part # 103213. The hex capscrew (bolt) is #1142. The lock nut is # 1936. Quantity 2 each. This infor is from the sub frame mounting kit #102590 instructions manual #76259
Hope this helps.

bindian,

Thanks for the picture. I've looked and don't have anything that looks like that. I have a parts manual # 75522, an operators manual # 75521, and an installation dvd which I watched and the narrator said the same thing you guys have been telling me, but it never shows what I need to know. Even if I had those parts in the photos you sent, I still would not know where to bolt them to.

I'm gonna call the dealer Monday and see what he can tell me.

Thanks for the help.

Cap'n Jack,
I will try to remember to take the 3PH arms out of the wheelbarrow (where I store them) and lay it out with the stabilizer and get photos to give you a better idea how it goes together.

Hey, I got a couple of them thar Y shaped extenders with my backhoe. Always wondered what they were. Never had to use them though.... Must not be needed with the 5035/595 hoe setup......

My 509 does not need the lift arms or sway chains removed to install. I loosen the sway chains until the arms almost touch and use a tarp strap to tie them together.
Arms at about half up will clear the hoses as I back into the backhoe.
I have to watch the lift position when the 3PT is powered back up after disconnecting the BH so not to raise them into the hoses or BH frame.
Install toplink, tighten sway chains and back to work

Until I take the BH off I'll see what I need. I'm thinking of building a Backhoe dolly. But not sure how to go about it. I'm told this thing weighs about 1300 lbs.

Wedge,
You mean the dolly or taking the BH off?

Like this works.... hoe sits down on it and can't slide off. Lay a couple two by fours down under your hoe, lift them up in place, and see what you can do...

The yellow added tubing down by the bucket it to add height to keep the knuckle of the bucket from hitting the ground. When you put the hoe back on you have to be able to move the bucket around/tilt the 4pt verticle to help line up the 4pt on the subframe to put the wedges in. Depending on how your hoe is constructed you might have to add something like this.....

I would have to have this welded up. What kind of casters are those? I'm guessing I need 300-400lb working load.
Thats what I was thinking of. Thought I had a pretty big barn, but running out of room already.

I went with all four swivels, 4"X2" steel, think they were 700 or 800 pounds each. Got them off Ebay, think I bought a couple sets at the same time for other projects. Made a dolly to put under my 8" wood chipper to be able to shove it around and pack stuff better in the winter for more barn room. I would not go ' cheap ' on either the steel or castors on something that weighs as much as this krap does... Don't want a blow out when you are trying to manuver around your barn. The hoe does not take a whole bunch to get moving... but does not stop on a dime. So you have to plan ahead. I think my 595 hoe is around 1500 pounds [+/-] ... Good luck, Jerry...

JerryK, very well done on the backhoe dolly. I'm impressed and we have a fab shop.

Finally got an answer as to how to leave the backhoe sub-frame on the tractor and still be able to bolt up the stabilizer mounts. The mounts go between the axle and the sub-frame.
