    Kelley 55 backhoe and project

    This is a 3 point the pump goes to the pto and it has it's own hydraulic reservoir. I had to remove the ROPS. If the tractor wasn't able to carry it I was going to mount it on an axle with 2 tires.

    Kelley 55 backhoe and project

    I bought a 35 year old Kelley 55 backhoe attachment for my L2850 Kubota. I had about 7, 80 foot tall pine trees to get down. While the backhoe was a little larger than what I wanted for the size tractor I have, the price was right and it was in great shape. I started by removing as many of the...

    Grader Box upgrade

    L2850 Poorman's handmade Hood

    Thanks for the kind words. A quote I've used is. "Need something? just ask and I'll tell ya how to get along without it." I just put the bucket up for good photos. The wife didn't think it was funny me working on the pickup exhaust, while it was be held up by the backhoe.

    L2850 Poorman's handmade Hood

    When I purchased the tractor it was without the hood side pans. I didn't like the engine compartment being exposed. I was scrapping an old gas furnace that had some decent sheet metal. Not having a metal break. I used the ramps from my car trailer clamped together, With a 2x4 and a hammer I...
