Well cut the backhoe off the tractor and rerouted the hoses (got rid of the return in favor of rear one) they had the bottom tabs welded in the quick disconnect, heated them up and out they came, took a grinder and cleaned everything up. Was a little hesitiate about hooking it all back up but was pleasantly surprised only took 12 minutes and was ready to go. In my very limited backhoe experience cant imagine an easier on off scenerio then the bradco 509 mounted on the quick disconnect sub frame. Only thing i did do was had a couple of hoses added to the bh adding about 3 feet so that you can hook the hoe up and get it aligned before backing the tractor up all the way...........ready to go dig something now. Appreciate everyones help on the hydraulics and remotes
Had a 2600 and 2610 so hav quite a few rear impl first backhoe i have had though and already love it 101+++ uses. Traded a guy a artic cat 4 wheeler for the 2120, 7109 front loader and bradco backhoe and 18' utlilty trailer w/ramps, they had blown the rings (to much starter fluid) fix wasnt bad just hated buying the parts at the ford house $$$$$. After i got her running and working sold the 2600 to make a little money back. Will post some pics....gets a little warmer going to fix the minor sheetmetal problems (nothing to bad) and paint her up in the shed. Next was thinking about adding the Quick Attach to the front loader as its pin style now...not really sure how much time it save me, but keep from lugging the bucket around when mowing etc..
