Hi all been following on the outskirts for a while. And it seems this is the place for me to be. Just bought a Ford 4500 & seeking advise. Bought it from Craig's list, asking price delivered (Hudson Valley NY) the gas one in Accord. Has 2835 hours on it & I have not seen it however spoke with the seller at length & I feel comfortable with him. Says it is very tight & as far as he can tell the hours are correct. No Leaks any where and very strong hydrolucs & he just changed all the backhoe hoses put a new rear tire on & a new battery. The cab is beat up but I think that is par for a 45 year old Machine. Going to be delivered this week. He has been using it but before I do I would like to do a front to back service. Question is I have never had a Backhoe before & really don't know where to start. I am guessing the fluids & filters would be first but really could use any advise you might have.
Thanks In Advance
Danny
