Ok that makes more sense. I'm making an assumption that i need to attach the hoe to the 3pt because I don't really understand what all these things are on the back of my tractor and how they work together. So I guess these heavy duty brackets on the back of the tractor are the jhooks that a backhoe ...

Pinhole leak, can I jb weld it?

I was digging out a tree stump and I noticed a pin hole leak in one of the hoses. I assume its a hydraulics hose because it only leaks when I'm NOT actuating the loader. Sprays out about 2" so its a pretty good leak. Its a metal hose. The specific hose and location is in this picture http://i.imgur....

Thanks for the advice Lavoy and pop pop. I probably will skip the hoe. I did keep wondering how that 3pt really could support that extremely heavy looking backhoe and all the digging forces. I can always buy one later if I change my mind. The original 50 and the 51 backhoe attachments... any idea ho...

bradco 88m2ga backhoe on a 440 icd? advice?

I bought a 440 ICD last week and now I'm looking around for a backhoe attachment. This 440 used to have a backhoe on it for years so it should have the correct setup. Anyone familiar with the BRADCO 88M2GA? I can't find diddly on the net about it. Its listed for $2,500... I think that's a fantastic ...

Thanks for the reply. I guess I don't know that much about engines. I went and looked at that backhoe. Its a ditchwitch A210. It looks like a never ending disaster to me starting with loading. He cut the trencher off so now its front heavy (ie tips over). It doesn't run and now it won't roll because...

Advice on buying a 440 ICD?

I know basically nothing about tractors, loaders, backhoes etc other than what I've read on the internet. I'm finalizing a deal to buy a 440 ICD for $2,500 that used to have a hoe on it (before it was stolen) and would like advice. I have .75 acres that i want to put a cement block fence up around (...
