I picked up this digger at an auction, with a 10" and 18" auger for $200. Its really heavy duty,and need some input. 1/2 of the "FORD" id tag is gone,but the numbers "22 BU 2103" are still there. The gearbox is huge compared to a KK,any ideas?

Yes,i should have been more specific. Tables for const.grade dimensional lumber.This will be like for fir,not yellow pine which is stronger.Ive seen them,its only a page or so,but lumber yards dont seem to have them anymore [at least around here].

I have a 72" KK that I bought for my TC35DA. The tractor is physically too big for the tiller,so I picked up an older 24hp Kabota to run it. This really works great,enough power to run the tiller in pto 2nd and the tractor in 1low.The tractor is about a foot narrower on each side so working up against an edge is easy,not so w/the NH.

No, its just a real flimsy piece of 1/8 x 5/8 thats welded to the end of a 5/8 rod that controls the valve.then they drilled a 3/16 hole thru it to attach the joystick. Not much material left to hold it on.

I put a milemarker 8000# hydraulic on my tc35da,powered it off of the power-beyond,I really believe i could pull the whole tractor,fel,and hoe up a cliff if needed.it was only about $1000 complete,and you dont have to worry about running the battery down or damageing the alternator.

anyone have a clue on the weight of a 4500 diesel with backhoe and loader? I need to transport one and need to know if my trailer will be up to it.

The backhoe is tough to beat for stumps.Weve pulled about 10 this week on my ditchbank project,a couple as small as 10", 3 or 4 were 3'dia.Got to have patience cutting those pesky roots, then curl it out when ready.This is with a TC35DA, [definitly not a big loader]!

4 months old,55 hrs.It took 2 qts hyd oil,made the cylinders feel solid again. Wouldnt think that 2 qts would make that much difference.Cant see any leaks,so I dont have a clue where the 2 qts went.

YOOPERPETE, The driveshaft joints are easy, the ball joints do require a special toolto reinstall the seals on the spindle.I borrowed it from a friend who is the parts manager at a dealership. I also put ggreasable u joints in the front half shafts, they were ok, but I didnt want to have to tear it down again in a year just for the joints,since I'm hopeing the greasable ball joints will last 100k or so.I also drilled the driveshaft slip yoke for a zerk, the spline was dry and rusty.The secnd time around I went with the cheap chineese rotors [$39]. They are still on and dont pulse a bit !I also found that the Wagner "Thermo-Quiet" pads dont heat soak the rotors as bad and are totally quiet.

If you were useing a synthetic 2 cycle oil,you can go to 60 or even 80/1, but with petrolium oil it would be the end. Also ,regular motor oils have detergents and are high in ash,both of which will destroy a 2 stroke.

My TC35DA w/loader and hoe was delivered with .2 hours,full tank,no scratches, and it had been waxed.Ive had zero problems so far.My dealer is realitvely small and deals mostly in ag equipment. His father started the dealership in 1949 and is still there. They have a spotless reputation in the farm community. My in-laws have bought from them since 1958.I had not been in there for 2 months, and when I went to the parts counter the parts man called me by name. This is the kind of dealer you need to find before opening your wallet.

If you would consider a premium trailer, check out Bri-Mar. Every edge is welded, and the whole trailer powdercoated. I picked mine up at the plant and was given a tour while I was there. I was in the Fab buisness for 30 years, and Im hard to impress, but these guys did it.They also built it with out a wheel stop, as I wanted to build my own design incorporating a winch,bucket rest, tool box , and fuel tank.I also added aluminum step plates all around the deck.I bought the 14000lb hydraulic,it was $5200.

Let us know what happens when it breaks and you take back to the local rip off dealer for warranty instead of shipping it back where you bought it.[no flame intended,just my oppinion]
