Removing a backhoe 4500

white halftrack · Jan 21, 2017

I am failing here. I have a manual for this but cannot locate it right now but have found a manual for every appliance I own.

I am removing my backhoe so i can start fixing leaks. I have the backhoe removed but this machine has three hoses about the same size. I presume I hook the one that goes to one side of the valve bank to the one on the other side but do i just plug the other? This is on the tractor so I can drive away without shooting oil all ove. Any help appreciated as i am attacking again in the morning.

IIRC there is a cap just for that hose (it's a larger size than the other 2) that clips or stores somewhere on the hoe frame. The 2 similar size hoses connect together to bypass the 'power over' valve (so you can still operate the loader) and the one that is capped is the return to the tank (not pressurized). Been a while since I last had my hoe off. Don't expect to drive around much without it.

The 2 that are at edge on rightside of hoe platform have to be hooked together. There should/used to be a cap under edge of hoe on leftside. Its #16 JIC. Other 2 hoses are #14 JIC. It will be lite in rear without hoe on it. I took loader arms of mime and had to drag hoe bucket on ground to keep front wheels on groud

Just loop the one hose on the two #14's, and cap off the #16.

I'm waiting on engine, and transmission parts for my 4500.

I have to redo the 4 pivot pins for the loader, and replace all the bushings.

Great info again! The plug was there and it worked out perfect.
