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.

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.
