Removing 756C bh

[Raspy]

Libertine gave a very good description as to the process. It's very important to back in straight to the backhoe and to make sure the three point hitch arms are released so they can move side to side. Then position them inside the backhoe rail as you back in.

When removing the hoe, the rear disconnect will just remain disconnected and the front will re-connect to another line that is waiting. I also, put the front bucket down and the lever in the "float" position. Shut the engine off.

If you strech out the hoe bucket and arm it will give you the most stable storage on blocks. The stabalizers are your friend as you re-install it. As said, just back up close, connect the lines and use the hoe itself to position it for insertion into the bracket. On and off the tractor for a few movements and on it goes. But come in straight and on center from left to right. Tilt and height don't matter with the hydraulics connected.

Even with everything right, it still seems like a hassle sometimes. And I always manage to get oil on me.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!!

Now, does that mean that the return line for the 3 pt hitch is internal?

Also, what I learned on mine (I am guessing yours is the same subframe connection) is to make sure that the big gobs of grass etc. that accumulate on the tractor subframe holder are cleaned up. Otherwise, the BH won't fit in far enough to seat the pins. Basically, just check all points that have to touch and make sure they are relatively clean.

Thanks for the tips. Yes, someone else also posted that if there was dirt in the holder that it would not fit.

I think I should be able to get it on and off, but the hydraulics was confusing me. Disconnecting two hoses and only re-attaching one is what I was getting hung up on. Like I said, the operators manual doesn't talk about installation or removal.

I know this is an old thread, but it's just the info I'm looking for. I recently purchased a used TC-40 with a 758C backhoe. I have read this thread and crawled under the tractor to see how to remove the backhoe.

My question is this: I will disconnect 2 hydraulic fittings, but only see where I would reconnect 1 up front to get the 3 point hitch working. Is this correct? I don't have a service manual to check, and the operator manuals for both tractor and backhoe don't tell how to remove or install the backhoe.

Thanks much for any help!

Just as you described is the way my hydraulic connections work on my TC33D. My backhoe is a sub-frame mount so I have the 2 pins to remove from up front. Before removing the pins I support the hoe by using the two out riggers and the bucket to remove the weight from the sub-frame. I then remove the pins, pull the tractor forward about 8 inches, then lower the hoe to its final resting position, then shut the tractor off, disconnect the 2 hydraulic lines and reconnect the hydraulic line up front to enable the 3-point hitch. Make sure you clean out the male connector that you will be connecting the 3-point hitch line to, sometimes mine collects a lot of grass and grit. I then start the tractor and pull it further away from the hoe.

Good luck.

There are two connections - the power-beyond at the rear and the 3pt by-pass near the front of the right side frame.

Once I have the BH on the ground, I move the sticks (with the tractor off) to relieve pressure before I disconnect the rear hose. I've never had a problem reconnecting it. The front connect does require getting on the ground and I always get a little fluid on me, but not a major problem. I use a binge cord to tie the hose to the frame, so it doesn't get caught while driving along.

Also, I'd highly recommend you take a look at the this BH dolly plans. I built them and learned to weld at the same time. It makes the on/off a breeze - Building A New Holland Backhoe Dolly
