Refilling the trench I showed in 1445 but I'm not sure how long I've been missing the bolts two that backed out.

Loader was on but I couldn't get it to line up perfectly so I used a hydraulic lift to raise the chassis frame and then it lined up.

My Massey GC1723EB backhoe control panel anchor tabs snapped off. This is a simple fix. Two Stanley "L" brackets, a couple of bolts and some Massey red spray paint from Tractor Supply. I cut off the corners on the "L" brackets so they would not rub on the hydraulic hoses. The existing bolts on the backhoe platform matched up with the holes in the "L" brackets. I had to drill two holes for the side bolts. The control panel is rock solid now.

simple stuff.
tilled up 3 45ft rows of peas that were picked clean by me (by that I mean my wife) and deer.
then created, using the heavy hitch row creator, 4 rows and planted approx 160ft of peas tobe harvested early September using 4 seed varieties I had left over.
also tilled areas my cukes, pumpkins, squash are about to spill over into.
simple stuff...now that I that I have a GC...before with old craftsman lawn tractor it was a LOT harder
oh yeah I also rotated my horse manure compost pile, now at 8 loads of a 7x10 dump trailer added onto existing 10 cubic yd pile.
pile running about 9 feet high now.
