Backhoe Thumb Installed.

Jiles · May 2, 2010

I recently made a Thumb for my Case Backhhoe. Bought the metal and my boys welded it together and installed it. Total cost for materials was less then $200.00
I can't believe I owned this machine for 5 years before installing one. It works fantastic on every job I have done.

I'd love to see pictures. Thought about making one myself, interested in how you did it.

I have never posted a picture but I will try. I made a modified version of eBay item #220330785393. I used a tractor "toplink" for adjustment.

This is a picture of the thumb I made for my 4500. It folds down to 3 positions. Made it with mostly scrap steel I had lying around.

Looks great, thanks for the info. I'm clearing a bunch of land, bet that would come in handy.
