Backhoe Reattaching Backhoe Hyd. Hoses to Tractor

   / Reattaching Backhoe Hyd. Hoses to Tractor #11  
<font color="blue">"I don't have a manual..." </font>

Bucky4, I have yet to detach my BH90 however I do have the manual:

engine at speed idle
flat level hard surface

1. Set the swing lock pin to prevent the pivoting of the boom before removing the backhoe.
2. Stand beside the rear tire, fully close the dipperstick, curl the bucket and lower the boom until the back of bucket contacts the ground.
3. Keep the stabilizer pads at about 15 inches high.
4. Raise the rear wheels slightly with the boom and remove the mounting pins.
5. Slowly raise the boom to disengage the backhoe from the tractor.
6. Raise the backhoe by operating the stabilizers to the lowering direction until the mount bars hit the guide stopper on the support hooks.
7. Move the tractor forward from the backhoe about 8 inches. Be careful not to damage or break the hoses when moving the tractor.
8. Lower the main frame and swing frame on to the ground by operating the boom and stabilizer control levers.
9. Shut off engine and set the parking brake.
10. Slowly release all hydraulic pressure by moving the backhoe hydraulic control levers in all directions.
11. Disconnect hydraulic hoses on the following manner: (1.) Disconnect the inlet and outlet from the tractor. (2.) Connect tractor's outlet hose to the coupler of return hose.
12. Restart the engine. Then drive the tractor/loader slowly away from the backhoe.
13. Shut off the engine and remove the key from the tractor. Set the parking brake.

Apply a coat of grease to all exposed cylinder rods to prevent rusting. When storing backhoe, install the dust caps onto the backhoe's hydraulic nipples to prevent contamination.

I'll be taking mine off next week, let me know if you see a problem with the manual's steps. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thanks to all for the advice. I will definitely give the suggestions a try the next time I remove the hoe. As I said earlier, I can get the hoe disconnected in a snap, but the line pressure in reconnecting it is making me say bad words! (No, not really, but it is frustrating!!)

Thanks again,

bucky4
