Congratulations Mike, great looking rig. I know you will enjoy it! I think I have backhoe envy /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks mighty fine, Mike. ...and although I've had mine for over a month, you've already got more seat time than me. ****, I'm jealous. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Trouble is, I'm workin' somewhat more'n full time and have spent the last several weekends finishing up the OPE shed that I started last fall.
Good luck and enjoy it.

I purchase a new B7800 with a used 4672 BH. I noticed from your photo that you have space between the two seats. On mine, the seats touch each other which has always bothered me.
Now I'm thinking that the dealer may have installed it incorrectly although it has worked well for me, with 150 hours on the meter and a great deal of that sitting on the back seat.
On the bottom links, I have 3 attachment holes and mine is hooked up to the middle hole in the BH. I've never tried any of the others. Can you tell me which hole is used for your 4690 BH?
This may also explain why the BH is such a bear to install. I always thought that it was just my incompetence.

Mine is connected on the top hole or the hole closest to the tractor. I was wondering if that was wrong too because the dealer and the manual says to first remove the upper locking pin from the attaching link on the 3ph. I can't remove it because the upper lifting arm prevents removal. I have to remove the lower lifting arm pins first so that the lifting arms will fall, then I can remove the upper locking pin. I figured if I used the middle hole that it would lower the lifting arm just enough to allow the removal (or insertion) of the upper pin. I have attached a picture of the lower lifting arm pin position. I also have a picture of the upper locking pin. I was going to try to use the middle hole tomorrow and see what it did. Guess it moves the whole frame back a couple of inches. I will give it a try.

Thanks for that!
I have a lot of stumping work to do, and well I keep thinking I can really, really use one. That tractor of yours just LOOKS so perfect. I'll be it just does the work with ease!
- Nice setup!!

Yes, I can install the upper pin first, but it is tight with just enough clearance to wedge it in. I usually end up hooking up the bottom links first also because it just seems easier.
My BH was originally hooked onto a B2400 and dealer transferred it over to my B7800 as part of the deal. I have to have the seat all the way back to leave room for my legs, but the seats actually rub each other.
I remember when my machine was as clean as yours. Nice looking rig and beautiful landscape with lots of room to dig.
