MF 70 Backhoe
HELP! I have an old MF 70 Backhoe 'Monster'.... took SWING cylinders and short swing arms off three years ago and took pics on cell phone ...but lost that phone in a lake and now cannot remember how to reassemble . Can anyone send me a few pictures or diagram of how short arms attach to swing cylinders ,chassis, and the hoe.

I don't know what you mean by, "short arms attach to swing cylinders ,chassis, and the hoe"

but you can always' "Google" your backhoe for pictures.

The short arms attach to swing cylinder, hoe and tractor frame to add mechanical advantage to the swing right and left. There are four such arms that attach to the tractor chassis, together in a column. The middle two are spread apart to permit one or two arms to be fastened in the middle. There are still the cylinders to attach and further fasten to the hoe base. The are still four short bars of steel with 2 inch holes in there end to be attached. Of course I have Googled the machine but am unable to fine pics specific to this mechanism. Still looking.

Thank you Skyhook! Can you get me pics of ...closeups from right and left views showing both swing cylinders mechanism. ... the arrangement of the flat linkage bars. This view shows left swing cyl. attached to the end of two flat bars, with two bars in the middle...where are the opposite ends attached... What does it look like from the right side ....This has been a great help so far.
