Bck on 7-21 I asked a question----WHAT BRAND IS THIS HOE?????

You experts said it was a Rotary swing center JD HOE found on 350-450- 555 Crawlers DOZERS AND ON SOME 544 WHEEL LOADERS.
A Matt said they were a dime a dozen and sell for scrap prices.

I am looking to buy one. Any info. on where to locate one would be appreciated. I could drive 5-600 miles from Michigan.

Thank you.
 
LR I know where there is one setting in the weeds, first time I am buy there will see what they want for it or if it is for sale. Middle Tenn.
 
Hey Len.. Most all hoes pin on.. I'd look for about any hoe to attach to your Do-All.. Just whatever style controls that trip your trigger..I wrote to you earlier, that the 400-500 hoes would fit.. The only difference is they have closed center hydraulics.. Yours , I believe is open center [ gear or vane pump]..R.S.
 
There's on on ebay right now. I'll look around in jing weeds here in PA. I see them sitting around in fields quite often, just never used up the storage space to remember where they were. Any used equipment place should have some laying around.

Keep your eyes peeled on the back roads, that's where I see them, and next time i see one laying around I'll post you the location if you're willing to come this far.
 
If you're really interested in a hoe, hit Ninas Tavern on Depot street on Friday night, place is full of them. Oh wait, you want a HOE, not ho'. My bad! :oops:
 
Maybe I missed part of the discussion. What size hoe attachment are you trying to find and what do you want to put it on?

In regard to Deere hoes with the drum/rotary swing? I've yet to come across any for "scrap value" unless they were indeed no better then scrap. At least not around central NY and northern Michigan. I know where there are several off of 1010s, 350s, 450s, etc. $1000 is about the cheapest I've seen for something that has the promise to be usable. Typical Deere hoe weighs 4000 lbs. and in my neck of the woods -that yields around $400 at the scrapyard. The buckets alone if half-way decent often sell for $300-$500.

I've got an AC hoe that came off a Deere 350 dozer sitting here in NY. It's a Mark IV I think with all the brackets to bolt to the rear of a JD. $950.

I also have an odd-ball hoe of unknown make sitting in northern Michigan $500 to whoever wants it. It had been previously mounted on a 900 Ford wheel tractor but certainly did not start life there. It has two single-acting conventional swing-cylinders that attach to a chain on the hoe.
NOT a Ford hoe though. I have no idea what make it is.

Here's a list of some Deere hoes.

OEM 50 goes on 1010 and 2010 crawlers and 1010, 2010, 3010, and 4010 wheel tractors.

OEM 51 sideshift hoe goes on goes on 1010 and 2010 crawlers and 1010, 2010, 3010, and 4010 wheel tractors.

OEM, 92 goes on a 300 or 400 Deere wheel tractor.
Sold around 1969.

OEM, 9250 goes on a 300 or 400 Deere wheel tractor.

OEM, 9250A goes on a 300B, 302A, or 401C wheel tractors.

OEM, 9250B goes only on a 401 Deere wheel tractor.

OEM 93A goes on a 350 or 450 crawler and a 600 wheel tractor.

OEM, 9300 was used on 350,450 and 550 crawlers and has a central barrel cylinder for swing. Not a great setup.

OEM 9300G goes on a 450G, 550G, and 650G crawers.

OEM, 9305 goes only on a 544 Deere wheel loader.

OEM 94 goes on a 400 wheel tractor.

OEM 9400 goes on a 400 wheel tractor.

OEM 95A goes on 350 and 450 crawlers and 400, 500, and 600 wheel tractors.
 
I have a couple DO MOR tractors and they have open center hydraulics. I thought the only JD hoes that were open center were the drum style swings. Maybe I am wrong about that. I have one hoe on the DO MOR that is the drum or rotary type swing.
Haven't used it so don't know how it works.

I guess I need to know if there are open center JD hoes with regular swing hyd. cylinders.

Thanks for your great info.
 
I've got some old literature from around 1979/80 that shows a 9250 hoe for a 350(mostly) because it's lighter. It uses 2 swing cylinders instead of the rotary cylinder. I think it's a 12' instead of a 14' hoe.
 
I've got two Deere 9250 hoes. One came OEM on my 300B (1972 vintage). Has one conventional swing cylinder - not two. Has some odd-ball see-saw type linkage that tends to be the weak link of the setup.

As I recall, the 9250 has a single conventional swing cylinder and the 9250A has two.

Also - in regard to the Deere hoes with the unitized "barrel" swing cylinder. Deere had offered kits at one time to upgrade them to dual conventional cylinders. I had to install a few. A lot of work and I suspect was barely worth it on a fairly new hoe. But I was a Deere dealer grease-monkey and did as asked.
 
I posted some Deere OEM color brochures of various hoes over at the "modern view" version of this thread. Too much work to post photos on this "classic" area. At least - too much work for me.
 

Thanks JD and all you other helpful guys. So the bottom line is that I can get a JD hoe that is NOT closed center BUT rather OPEN center to fit on a DO MOR tractor that is NOT the Barrel SWING.

A FEW GUYS HAVE SAID THEY DON'T LIKE THE BARREL SWING.... or that it is weak and prone to leakage.
 
I worked for three Deere dealers over the course
of 25 years. We had more problems with those
barrel swing cylinders then anything else - in
regard to hoes. The biggest problem was they'd
get scratched and scored inside and leak with no
cost-effective fix without replacing major parts.
We used to resurface the end-caps. Other then that
- there wasn't much to do with a scored-up barrel.
And yeah - you could say the same for a
conventional piston-and-cylinder unit -but they
are easier to fix (most of the time) and MUCH
easier to replace with a generic cylinder. That
is why Deere came out with the twin-cylinder
upgrade/repair kits for some of them.

If you want a Deere open-center hoe, seems you
need something off a crawler or a 210C wheel-hoe.
Just about anything else is likely to be closed-
center unless you go back to the 1950s OR
something like a 1010-2010 wheel tractor. Deere
had a few loaders with convertible control valves
that worked with open-center or closed-center. No
backhoe valves like that - that I can recall.
