Haha Long story.....Needed money to finish it which i got then i found the Welders Both for $1000 :shocked:and there went the money i had for the backhoe. I figured get the welder which i can then use to weld up stuff for other people then make back the money then i can finish the backhoe...atleast thats the plan anyway if i succeed is a whole other story :laughing:
:laughing: Sounds like something I'd do too, if I found a deal like that. I finally got mine working good and was able to put my water line in about a week ago. I was so happy to have it going.
I used my rear differential out of my old 1981 Buick Regal. The plan is to use a hydraulic motor to drive the differential, and then put a front end out of a pickup and add a steering wheel to the side. This way I can drive it.
I currently (temporarily) have 2 old car rims welded to some pipe to use as stabilizers, and it actually keeps it from dragging around. (works better than I thought)
I wanted to take pictures and a video but my camera quit on me. I'm gonna have to purchase a new one when I can get some more money.
Hope your able to get yours going pretty soon.
