Backhoe Koyker Loader and Jimna Backhoe frame

Hagar · May 6, 2005

I need to make the mounting brackets for the jimna hoe frame and attach to the Koyker 160 mounts. Does anyone know the dimensions of these brackets? Size hole (since I haven't measured the pins yet), height, width, gap etc. Anyone have any tips before I experiment?

Thanks

Where in Central Mass are you. I've got a couple of the brackets.
You are welcome to come over and take a look and measure them if you want.
You do realize that they are not bolt on ? You have to
cut and weld... I'm just off 495.. Drop me a note if you want to swing by..

I'm northwest of Worcester. My brother dropped of my backhoe with the frame so I can actually measure the frame now. I also have to wait for a new loader mount kit. I should be all set, thanks for the offer.

O.K. It's a pity whoever ordered the Hoe didn't order the mounts for you. The mounts normally ship with the factory ZL-20 loader.
Since my standard configuration is KOYKER loader with Guilin Hoe I order the mounts with the hoe as an extra. So I just have
to cut and weld, not make them.. Good luck

The suction line for the pump runs right through where the rear mounts go. In my case the line really wants to be under the mount. I think it should go over it, between the flat of the mount and the casting. Do you bend the line when faced with that situation? I'm thinking of pushing it up with a jack and put heater hose around it where it'll sit on the mount.
