I just bought a backhoe that was attached to a Ford Jubilee farm tractor. I suspect it was somebody's homemade hookup - but don't know. I'm 1000 miles away from it and bought it via photographs and description by phone. An old man had it - and doesn't know much about it in regard to what make it is.
Anybody recognize it? I've got a 1963 Ford Industrial 4000 backhoe here and home and I know it's nothing like it.
Next question is - when the guy delivered it to my property up in northern Michigan yesterday - he broke what looks like a swing-cylinder when he tried to hook a chain around it to lift. Looks to me like it broke at some sort of factory joint maybe where the cylinder barrel joined the end-cap where it pivots?
At the moment - I'm kind of clueless since I can't see it up close. I won't be up there for another month.
Anybody recognize any of this?
I probably wouldn't have bought it with a broken cylinder - but . . . the guy is 77 years old, drove 200 miles to deliver it in the pouring rain, etc. Stuff happens.
