I am in the same boat as you sounds like, I have a machine just like yours that I just bought and am waiting to be delivered. It is a french machine so please if you find a service manual on yours let me know.. I am sure wanting one for mine. I was told mine is a "C" model to but nothing looks like ...

Well this is it...



The 95A has that wide mount so it kinda does a good job of staying upright on its own.....

Thanks for all the input.... I have a guy lined up to go ahead and get the machine and hoe I bought at the same time. He has a land-all trailer with a winch and plans on taking a Lull lift to get the hoe and assist in pushing the loader onto the trailer. I plan on taking a few come-a-alongs to bind ...

Thanks I checked Murphys it is a 95A not a 93 A it weighs 3750lbs with the extension..... I bought it just triing to get it home........ Never would have thought it was that heavy.

I am triing to decide if I want to haul it in the bed of my 1 ton dump or tow the trailer.... dont want any trooper trouble......

Does anyone know what a 93A backhoe for a 450 loader weighs, it is the one with the rotary cylinder that no one cares for......It has a 18" bucket on it. Thanks for any help...

So how do the serial numbers work on french machines? Any ideas on what year? And does anyone know if these are sleeved motors or solid blocks? Thanks!!

Yes it is a made in fance machine. I am in NC USA, I bought the first machine with intentions of clearing some land my wife and I purchased. And seen what parts retail for and when I saw the second machine for the price of scrap weight I couldnt resist. Since I showed my dad the pics he keeps tellli...

The major difference I see in this machine is that there is no tank behind the seat, the seat rotates around like a new backhoe so u can run the backhoe attachment from the same seat... Thats why I like this machine over the other. Just wanna know what model it is... All the B's and C's I see online...

Yeah the guy I bought it from had welded 2- 3/4"round rod on the center groove on each flight. So there are 1 1/2" cleats on them, lets just say u can tell where I drive it in the yard by the sheets of centipede grass peeled up.... But they work..

So that would make it a B right??? Either way it's in very good shape and I think it will be my better bet. Glad to have you guys on...

Thanks for the input I will add some rubber bushings and lock-nuts so I can run the bolts snug and not tight.
Thanks again!

I have a 450 1965 model and a 450C with a hoe attachment any preferences 1 machine over the other or are thay equal in dependablility. Triing to decide to keep the 450 or to repair 450C and keep it... The 450C needs a block http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa207/tommy1100/dozer/005-Copy2.jpg OR? h...

http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa207/tommy1100/dozer/005-Copy2.jpg This was my supposed to be parts machine, I am know debating repairing it and getting rid of my 450. It has a cracked block... http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa207/tommy1100/dozer/0_IMAGE_105.jpg The other half of my new toy...

I paid for the 450C today I hate to say it but might just repair it and get rid of mine, it is a much nicer looking machine across the board from bucket to undercarraige. It has a cracked block from lack of antifreeze, It was welded once but has cracked in worse now so may just need a new block, not...
