I am missing a couple pins on the front bucket , one where the bucket angle guide attaches on the pin, and on the same pin on the other side.They are the small pins that go thru the yoke to hold the larger pin in place. I cant find any parts diagram on the front loaders on any Kubota site...

Any one with a Woods backhoe ever change the operation from Deere to Cat? I contacted Woods about bending the boom ram a couple times, and was told cant switch any hoses around on the valve. He said the relief doesn't work when the hoses are switched. Seems like I have heard of people doing...

The bend happens when the arm is being pulled back towards the machine.The ram is about half way in when it bends, and the ram is pushing out to bring the boom in. By changing the hoses on the valve, all that should have done is change the flow , so both valves work in the same direction. The...

The ram I bent was a replacement from the farm equipment place,that sells Woods , and the first one was the original that came on the back hoe. They look identical. The only thing we did different was switch the controls so they operate like a deere. I wonder if that has some thing to do with...

Well , I was digging up a stump yesterday, and I bent the ram again. I would say the material that the ram is made from is soft. I think when it gets hot it loses its strength. I was digging around the roots with the rpm at 1400, keeping an eye on the ram, and it all seem to be going good. I was...

I am not blaming this on my son. It just happened to be him the second time using the machine. We weren't sure that he snagged the boom the first time, but assumed that was what caused it. We didn't expect it to be a ongoing problem. I just put a block of wood under the ram and extended the ram...

He was digging a culvert trench, that was pretty deep, so it was a long reach. The ram does push when retracting the boom, so I guess that is what happened, maybe the angle when at the bottom of the trench. You don't really know when its bending, until its too late. He wasn't lifting the tractor...

Has any one ever bent the top boom ram on a woods backhoe ? We have bent two,and it has happened to my son both times. The ram bends down towards the frame, so it cant be when the ram is pulling in. I said he had the bucket low and caught it on the ground when he was moving the tractor, but he...
