CB85 Backhoe street pads (rubber pads)

[WOLFMAN460]

Just installed my own version of street pads on my New Backhoe CB85 that is attached to a 2850M Cab model. these pads may also fit many other manufactures. I purchased 4 pads on EBAY, they are Buyers Products B5760 Rubber Bumper. I fastened them with carriage bolts, the spacing between the holes is 4.5". I almost forgot 4 bumpers shipped to me total under $25, I think OEM were around $320, big difference. I will have to try them out in the next few days to see if they hold up, but I can say now that they are made of very hard and dense rubber designed for rear truck beds colliding with a loading dock so they should be quite strong.

Update on the rubber street pads, I used 3/8" carriage bolts and had 3 of them stretch and bend from using backhoe so I changed them out for 1/2" cap screws with washers on the holloed out side and lock nut on other. The rubber appeared unscathed so far, we will see how they do after next time out playing.
