Been playing with some aquired inventory and old stock. First the toter was put together to prove to myself that old chaindrive tranny from mower would motivate a rear diff.

Next I started building a backhoe loosely following free plans. When I say loosely I meen that the sizes of materials must match what I have in inventory. As you look at pic's notice the nice cuts from my skill saw.

I used 1"x4" and 1/2" plate for pivot and swing, the tubes are 3 1/2"x4 1/2" and all pins are 1 1/8".

The bucket is made from 3/16" plate that I bought as scrap at .32 per lb.
It is 11" deep by 18" long and 15" wide. Here's the pic's.
PS this is as far as I've gotten on the hoe in 16 hours of work. More to come.

Nice shop.:D How about a close up of the steering assembly. Will the hydraulics have it's own power source?

Yea, that doesn't look like your typical steering sector.

Nice work on the bucket. How did you bend the 3/16 to form the contour around the sides ? I have a 16" but would like a 24". The price they get for them is quite high. This may be a great alternative.

Joe, If you look again at pic bh16 you will see it's sitting on 2 channels and was tacked down on back side as viewed with plate to be bent standing up. I hung a chain hoist on top with chain hooked down to support under channals. Pull the chain and it will bend. I tacked as I was bending to keep everything where I wanted it.

Here's a shot of the v-belt steering.
