Managed to find a used cylinder for a Cat of some sort, took the piston out of it and shortend it to fit in my bucketcylinder, so that problem is solved, still looking for a "quick mount"
This is what my old bucket piston looks like:

Tigerhaze: that`s quite a large span, but what would be average? I would say that a average Swedish worker makes about 3550 dollars a month, and after taxes he gets 2500 dollars left. hugo: nice to hear from someone on my side of the Atlantic, even if Holland isn´t exactly next door. I´m sure that i...

You should consider yourselfes lucky with those fuelprices, must be at least 25 years ago that we had prices that low in Sweden. Being a musclecar enthusiast i also envy your spareparts prices, when i look at for example Summit, prices in Sweden are twice as high. Dare i ask how much a regular worke...

Hello, my machine is Dubuque made and the engine is a T32342 202cui 4 cylinder diesel. 3 cyl. perkins in JD 450? Are you sure? Fuel prices today are 11,47 kr /liter for diesel and 12,01 kr/ liter for gasoline. That translates to 6,22 dollars/ gallon for diesel and 6,52 dollars/gallon for gasoline. H...

Maybe it´s not called quickmount in english?
Anyway, here is a modern machine with a hydraulic quickmount and rototilt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wcuB4SE ... re=related

I would be more than satisfied with just a mechanical quickmount for Berta

So, what has that Swede been up to this summer? Well, the swing cylinder is rebuildt, and the worn hole in the mount is fixed, so are a lot of other holes and bushings, the problem is that i can´t just replace bushings, because the holes they sit in have become to large and oval. So first the holes ...

Thank you KenP! This forum has been a great help for me and old Berta, lots of knowledge and helpful people. Yesterday i cleaned the swing cylinder and took it apart, found some broken bolts, a bad seal and some wear, especially where the backhoe excavator arm mount attatches to the swing cylinder, ...

Hello, now i have taken the excatator arm off and also the swing cylinder http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww184/d557017/S5030202.jpg I spent about 3 hours getting this lower "hub" off, lots of acetylene, sledges, chisels and bad words did the trick. http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/ww184/d55701...

I don`t have such a cover on my backhoe maybe there used to be one sometime in the past.

Dirtguy34: i sent them some questions about a operators manual, thanks for the tip.

KenP: My backhoe can be moved sideways so it must be a 95 then.

But what separates 95 from 95A?

(a friend has borrowed my camera so no pictures right now unfortunatley)

Hello, i have started to work on the backhoe a little bit. I enlarged the holes and made new bolts where the backhoe is attatched to the crawler, also worked a bit in the lower hookshaped mounts, so now it has a good thight fit. Made a new bolt for the left side stabilizer, the old one had been repl...

Hello, looking in my sparepartsbook, the pump is a Robert Bosch.
Could it be that JD only put these pumps on machines made for export?

Hello everybody. Since there were no objections we got that oil for the Oliver. Now back to John Deere, because finally i have a machine that steers both right and left :!: I newer got ahold of any springs, but with some help i found a used pressure plate (not here in Sweden though) and took the bes...

I was not aware what EP was, but now i do so thank you for the education. Called Castrol again but the ST 90 oil is not sold in Sweden. I found a transmission oil locally though, not singelgrade (80W-90) but it is GL-1 and it said non EP on the label, what do you think? http://www.medelsta.lt/pdf/St...

I have been asking around about non detergent oils localy, but no luck so far. I called Castrol Sweden, but they said that they do not have such oils any more. I also called Agrol oils, they did not have any suitable motoroils, but they said that any 80W-90 GL 5 transmission oil should work fine, si...
