    Backhoe control bracket cracked into

    I am not sure of the model #, as I bought this tractor and BH as a used unit, with a 6" loader bucket, and ALL of the model stickers of both the loader and the BH were removed before I purchased it. AND..., I am not familiar enough with these machines, to ID them by visual cues. There is some...

    Backhoe control bracket cracked into

    Neither of the two holes were wallowed out, and the piece that was broken off was firmly retained in place by the one fastener which did not fail, or else I would not have had that piece to re-weld into position. I suspect that the failure of the fastener with the missing head was what...

    Backhoe control bracket cracked into

    Was clearing brush this afternoon with the BH on my L3240D, when the BH bucket control suddenly stopped working. Was able to get it back to the shop where I discovered that one of the control pivot brackets had broken into, taking one of the mounting bolts with it. Was able to weld the...

    Another question about New BX23S .. Broken bolt on Backhoe

    The right stabilizer arm/leg for the BH (BackHoe) moves and articulates on its pivot, making it useable, but the pivot pin is stuck SOLIDLY into the stabilizer arm. The holes in the BH frame that are SUPPOSED to keep the pivot pin from falling out had nothing in them when I first got the...

    Two more cycles (a week or two apart) of using a LARGE 2-arm puller both with heat AND using a large brass hammer, then another round of soaking in Kroil, removing the puller, and using a brass drift and a 4 lb maul... Still no joy... Am considering cutting the pin, removing the stabilizer...

    The foot pins are free. What is stuck is the arm pivot where it mounts to the backhoe frame.

    Yes. zerk removed, passageway cleared with a drill bit, then a 1/8" NPT street elbow and fitting installed for having a 6" tall tube to be filled with kroil, then capped with a plug to keep contaminates out while using it. Every few weeks, I would top off the Kroil to ensure it was staying...

    Another question about New BX23S .. Broken bolt on Backhoe

    BOTH of the stabilizer pins were seized when I bought this tractor, but the left one finally came loose with some persuasion and kroil. The Right one has been soaking for nearly two years in Kroil, but it's still stuck. I've tried pressure, no-pressure, a hammer, a BIG hammer, (8-lb sledge)...

    Underground storage

    I had a '70 Maverick that we drove for well over 260K, before selling it for about half what we paid for it new. It was a GREAT little car that got good fuel economy, and handled like a dream, netting me multiple wins on slam courses over the likes of BMW's, etc. I even towed another car (a...
