picked up this 1995 case 580sl backhoe needing repairs, so lets finish them and then try to get a 9 foot commercial snow plow to attach to the front bucket.

Guys and how's it going hey we're going to continue on this case 580. I picked up a couple of weeks ago, kind of, as is condition, and i'm really not familiar with them. So uh, the last video we went through just kind of educating ourselves on it. What it needed gave us ourselves a little bit of a shopping list and fixed a bunch of electrical components on it.

Well, since then, and now i was able to get parts, so we can kind of continue on with more of the mechanical parts of it. Let's have at it and what we end up getting was the cylinders rebuilt. I was gon na, try doing it myself and it's a good thing. I didn't because they had to actually replace one of the rods and, i think, do some brazing and repair on the other.

One on the rebuild got fingers for the bucket. We got some mirrors. You got pins for a plow blade. We need to attach to it and a couple of uh relays for electrical components.

We need to get those cylinders on and the other biggest thing is probably trying to get that plow set up on that bucket. That was on there at one time, but the brackets that went to it are no longer so we're gon na have to try to come up with something to fabricate that no i'll be on. Hopefully, on today's video, but first i think we should probably start with these cylinders, getting them on the outriggers and getting that part set up. So, let's see what we got going up going on outback, so that thing right there and it's a partner crime on the other side are called the outriggers.

That's where the backhoe, when you are digging it stabilizes the back of the tractor. Well, they were leaking profusely when the old owner had it took them off, tried rebuilding them, where i at least tried getting them apart and couldn't do it, and so i bought it with the cylinders removed and brian, and i struggled to go, get those tied up Into their position, and now we've got to figure out by myself how to drop those without killing myself, because they're, probably about 400 pounds, a piece of you might guess. So, let's get them on the ground because we're not able to attach them. The cylinder goes from there to right there.

Well, if i was smart enough to have the forklift facing the other direction, it would have helped at least with one of them lowering them down. So i may just do just that. I mean go, pull the tractor out, swap it around it's like 10 degrees outside, and it is a balmy 55 in here. So i don't let all my heat out.

So you know i don't want to undo that turnbuckle. You know as soon as they go to crack that thing it's going to want to spin out of there virtually in it come on yeah. It doesn't look sketchy at all. Huh get that upper one undone i'll get this out of here.

I don't break the back window, let's even get the paint out of the other side yeah these that's off now. The fun part is to try to slowly work that come along and drop that leg right off. It's heavier as it goes down too. You know um something's failing.
I really wish the release wasn't back there. Almost there one more yeah, i don't know. What's holding that hook there, this one should go a little easier. I should have said that, should it so all right leave it under there.

Just in case, you need to tweak it a little bit get the cylinder on it'll clean them up in a wire wheel, knock some of the rust off them. Well, they look almost the same, except for the fittings on the top. Go opposite directions, so i'm not quite sure which one's left and which one's right, not that. I don't think we can't turn it, but usually they're kind of wrenched down to where they go.

You know i'm gon na say probably the line the upper line comes around and curves. Maybe something like that find out. Oh boy, yeah, okay, it doesn't fit that one there. You get the caps off stretch her out.

You don't think the fitting should have went downwards. Do you you think that's right should probably look at a picture huh. That would be my guess again. I didn't take it apart, they're already off, when i got it, the only other thing.

I'm thinking is, if it's rotated and it faces downwards, it might be on a more harmed way. Oh boy, if that shoot a little air in there, yeah get it first there he is. Is the hair too far, oh boy? Well, i knew it was going to be a 50 50 shot, but here's the thing that lower hose is pretty taut already and you got to figure that thing still has another travel of about that much. I think we'll be yanking on the hose plus it's exposed now that i'm looking at them they're not the same.

This one is located right here and there's my luck. I ever go put that one there at least that one's stretched out for the other side. I kind of temporarily put it on there didn't run any fluid through it yet, and the fittings are loose. Let's fire up the forklift, it's still under the pad, let's lift it up and kind of run it through its motion just make sure those hoses aren't going to hit anywhere.

So so that's about it, you guys can't even see. Can you see what we got and it's probably another three or four inches of travel? I was worried about that one hose kind of getting into the tire, but it looks okay, all right, we'll commit to that and get everything bolted up and clip down and uh pop the other one. On the other side come on you're almost there. I need a little bit bigger pliers.

I think a screwdriver and a hammer will fit fix the rest of that gotcha, this one's just a baby bent, but i should be able to get that on there come on note to santa. I need a bigger pair of pliers pop in there good. Well, the other side is on, but there's one problem. I am missing one of those rubber snubbers, it's probably leaning on the ground where the tractor wasn't.

I just missed it. So, let's go up in the stash see if we can find something that can uh suffice. Silver in this land should be a stash of all things. Rubber yeah, like this bucket right here, maybe i doubt we're gon na find anything, that's kind of great for it, but even if we could slice like a piece of hose and wrap it around it, what's that that's too thin like a piece of rubber, we could Wrap it around it just to protect it for now and then order one.
Let's go with that piece of hose, maybe that maybe a combination of a couple of them. We could wrap it a couple times. Oh there you go yeah, maybe something with those might work. I'll keep looking, though i guess worst case, you could probably wrap it with a piece like serpentine belt or something too.

So i think if we slice that that'll be the inner, i don't know if that's going to be, maybe the other end of it and that's kind of thin. So we just hunk off some of that. Some of that we'll put a slice down, so we can feed them over the hose, we'll see how it kind of lays down. If we can get that around there and just get the strap around that, that might be okay, now we'll go a plane b, which will be a piece of serpentine hose or just kind of wrap it around a couple times and clamp it a little dark over Here, let's see how we can do go with that one first.

This certainly doesn't really move that much. It's not like one of the ones that are, you know constantly in motion, but if you can get her from chaffing, you know that's kind of tall. I don't know if the straps gon na want to be able to reach around that. I think we can get it.

Let's just keep an eye on that and we'll see if it wants to kind of pop out of there or chase on the it wants to chase on. You know chafe on something: that's the whole idea, we're just trying to protect it from that and getting into the tire. Let's go fire it up, see how they do. We have air in it at first see our hoses.

Look! Oh! It's all right! Oh looks. Okay, too, dark. I don't bring a light with me. They look like they're a lot of harm's way.

All right, let's go get her doing her thing, make her dance, any oil shoot out. Excuse you all right, i think. While we got the back end where it is, let's uncurl that bucket a little bit and we'll take care of these fingers, let's knock a little cocka off of it. I guess these can break off too, especially if you're not running it with uh.

I don't know if you consider these consumables. My question is: does it go like that or like that, i'm looking at the other one, you see the curve on it. You know that one's curved, i'm not sure it doesn't matter. I would think.

Actually does it come out to the same point? That's the way they have it. I would think like that. Wouldn't you kind of straight on that's my guess. So here's my thought.

It's a 50 50 shot right. I screwed up putting the cylinders on so i'm due for one. That's correct, yeah worst case scenario: we just flip them over. I actually bought 10 of them.
I figured if i lose a couple or snap a couple or whatever happens to them. I got some sacrificial watchy toes lambs. You got like a weird pin in there like, like a gushy metal on two sides and gush in the middle. It's out.

I need to get my punch back again wash your toes. I think a minute go clean, all them up. We got to go clean out the little little poopy holes in them. Those are pack solid.

You can tell those actually they made them still having pits of pin in them right just dirt. All right here we go clean all this crap up, let's start putting them on, so we try the harder one first, which is gon na, be the middle ones, so you can't really get a good hit on them. I'm also kind of wondering if we're gon na have to maybe make up a jig like a c clamp or something these guys are kind of like a preload just squishy, and you got ta get them to go, get hammered in and they got like a a Nipple on each side that holds it but the middle ones. You can't get a swing on with a hammer.

Probably, let's see if we can squish that down that might work, no problem, whoops step back a little or they just go right in battery decided to cut out on me right at the very end, actually worked really easy. Well, those are going to continue to be the same, go find out so that definitely seemed like they all went in way too easy. I would expect more of a fight than that, but we're going to see when mom digging could be. While i was missing so many before i don't know if those holes are egged out in the center a little on the large side but i'll see, i guess you know this way, there's not you're digging.

It's always trying to push towards the tooth. It's just when you're either digging backwards; it wants to go yank it off we'll find out. I need that purdy. I got spares.

What i say for our next bit of fun. Is we're gon na try to get that mounted on that? So, let's get a wheeled in front of it, i might have to go up a little bit with those jack stands, but again it's really just have to be concerned about getting it centered and where the pins go on. Not the angle is kind of by how it gets chained to the top of the bucket, where the blade sits somewhere in there just got ta jock it into position and mark center on the bucket and center on the plow with that silver line. Unfortunately, it's lining right up to where those bolts are that kind of sucks.

I was hoping it would, you know, line up in between two of them, so we got ta figure out how to make a bracket. I don't know like an l bracket that uses these bolts catches it and then maybe has caps on the end of it to to grab these plus. I don't want to have to be able to take it off during the summer time and, if you're dealing with a loader as long as the you know, the bottom of the blade is clear and the front of the edge is clear. It'll cause a little bit of you, know material backing up behind it, but i'd kind of like to not have to go screw with taking it off all the time.
So we've got to come up with something. To tie that, i wonder: if do you think we should back it up into now? Is the stronger part of the bucket too? This is, although very thick, it's i don't think it's as thick as the material is here plus. I think i want to stay fairly. Close to these bolts for strength, let's go shopping for a piece of like angle, iron and we'll just lay it on there and try to come up.

Maybe with some ideas go shopping, let's see we got. I think we're gon na probably want at least as thick as the ears that are on the plow itself. That's pretty much! Secondly, tall enough, though, but like that thickness piece angle, it's kind of thin, though i think i have some around the around the corner. Trailer hitch would probably do too huh a piece there.

It's kind of thin that might work right there that one yeah that's heavy enough. Let's go drag that out. Stick it in the bucket. It already comes to this one pre-drilled hole, would angle angle, do it for us, or i wonder if we were to take and slice two slices like this and pour a hole through it.

How would that do you know one on each side that way the pin is kind of supported better, not that we couldn't do it long ways to just put two pieces in it. I wonder if that would be stronger, plus, wouldn't matter really, if i take the blade - and i i kick it like two inches over so see if we move it kind of like right here and what we do, we go bolts, a piece of angle from here To here, or at least flat plate going across the bottom, we could build off of that, but i think most of the energy is going to want to be to want to curl it back right. I wonder if we just yeah too bad. It's like right on right on top of them, it's, it would be like if i move it like on that one it's on the center of it.

I just missed that one by here. Can we can we fudge it? Can we get? What can we do to get? Let's think about a little bit come up with a solution might go for sandwich. She wanted five guys fixed it. Delicious burger strawberry shake.

So i took the hydraulic lines and just threw them over the bucket. I want to see make sure everything is going to reach. I don't see them being a problem they're going to tap into somewhere up on the curl of the bucket. Now it's looking what's going to support the blade like normally on a truck.

You have a like a triangle that comes out of the front: it's got a hydraulic cylinder underneath it and it kind of comes almost straight up from this point and lifts and lowers the blade from those chains. As you can see, we don't have anything there. So something has to come from the plow back to the bucket chain wise to kind of support it. So i looked at these they're way too short they're, not even gon na make it you know, but it did come with this, so i'm trying to figure out how this would have got incorporated.
Yeah right. I know i agree what a weird kind of setup. It's got three springs, daisy chained together, so i don't know if it seems like a lot of spring. Usually you just have like a solid chain and if you bottom out, the chain gets slack and the blade can come back down again.

I'm not quite sure what those will be hooked up to and then it's got like that doesn't take any strength, so this is probably all out of the all out of it, because that would do nothing right. I would just snap right off: you try putting the load on that. I wonder if battery's flashing, i wonder if that hook, let's see if these two hooks are the same length instead of going yeah, i have a feeling that those two hooks hang on the front chain and that loop up there hooks onto the two uh knuckles on The back of the blade: let's go: let's try that, yes, we got a hook there and a hook there right. So that's what that loop of chain can go around to those two.

The springs can go this way and then we grab these two chains and then maybe the springs in the middle, because the chain's going on an angle upward if it takes any shock, it just kind of takes a little bit of flex out of the middle. Let's try laying that on there and see how it looks. I don't have a taut or anything, but just trying to get our idea like, so we wrapped around that hook and that hook i could probably go back one link and kind of square that off a little bit and i just grabbed the two chains that were There, let's try sliding that blade outward a little. That's a little bit more of a straight angle, break, let's grab something to jam into that wheel.

I think i think that's pretty close, though maybe square it off a little bit better, but i think that's kind of it's got a lot of weight on it, though huh lifting up on that. I don't know that might be okay. It had to be something similar to that right. I was trying to figure how close we can get into the bucket, because, of course, you know the closer you get the plow in the bucket, the uh less of an angle.

That's going to be to lift up on it. We got to remember the things has to be able to angle, so i don't think we can close that distance up much more than that or that blade is not really going to be able to kick over to one side all the way. So when you're going down the road you've got to be able to roll the snow to the side, not just push it all right. We can get all that out of there.

I think we should start going back to coming up with a solution for that. I can't change it up a little bit. I found that big flat piece of steel. It's probably six inches wide.

I think i'm gon na go punch a bunch of holes in it. Try to with a plasma cutter where those bolts are and we'll bolt that down and then wherever we line up, which is going to be, you know what was it this bolt, yeah we'll put a piece of angle that angle: we'll put one this way and we'll Put one this way so it'll be an l and then a reverse cell. We'll leave a gap in between therefore still having access to the bolt, because the pin is pretty wide the pins like five inches wide, so we can have some slopping. Actually, it's probably a good thing instead of having it snugged right up on it, give it a little bit of room for stuff to kind of move and not get broken.
So, let's get out of that impact gun, get some of these bolts out of here, because it's smooth on the other side. I don't know what their setup is. I don't there's a recess in there or what, but let's get them out of there and we're going to need something taller to replace it so see what we got and see if we can replace it with something see how well these come off. That's a strange setup huh.

I guess it really wouldn't matter. We could put these back in when we're not using that during the summer time and uh just get like a regular nut and bolt combination. It's squared off to go lock in there, though i don't think i have anything like that. We're gon na need something about about that long times.

Five, the land of hardware, that's the size we need. I found. Five of these are the next size down. That's about the largest i could find is one right here, but i need to find the nuts for them nuts, i'm looking for there's one right.

There hopefully get enough of those we'll have something kind of bolted together worst case, i can go to a hardware store and get something: that's um the exact size of the hole down below, but i think we crank down on it with an impact gun. We should be okay, especially if we just punch the hole smaller for the top plate, so there's not much room to wiggle around yeah how's, your eyes see any too small all right. Well, i'm gon na hunt another bolt, there's a stash of bolts just eating nuts. Only found three yeah i got ta get a pail full of um.

Other hardware might be able to find some in there just need two more hope: they're in there got it how to get out the heavy guns three-quarter that still wouldn't do it. I don't have an impact socket, so it might just explode that socket, let's find out. Ah there it goes. You just needed a foot pipe, no problem, that's a little stuck, though didn't see that coming.

Did you not at all so problem is mass is too hot, for it can't get the glow sound of a plus, it's all peened over from rocks and gravel rock running off? Well, you just keep escalating to one of us wins. I hope it's me try taking the plasma cutter and just burning off the nut, i'm trying to save the bowl, probably because it's a specialty bowl, let's see what we get we're gon na give up without a fight, though huh i win, you look at the bolt. It really doesn't damage the threads and a little bit right there, but that will clean up. It's got to get a nut for it, five more to go.
So what do you think the chances are that i'm gon na be able to get all six of those bolts to pop up through that plate? They get bolted together. Let's see what we get who's, your daddy nice. So thinking something like this, you we cut them. You know it's probably the same width.

Why not and get a good weld on it all the way around we put one on one side and one on the other. Actually, it's gon na hit that huh, so we got ta shorten it up a little bit and then we'll just use that that lower hole, we'll bore a hole right through two of them, we'll make that be the pivot. But we got ta back it off and probably see about right there, so we'll make them whatever that equals out to probably about four inches long and that way i'll leave a gap in between still get the bolt out the nut out and change it over. If we want to plus, if we just want to leave it, there, just take the plow off during the coming in the spring.

You want to shovel stuff if you want to scoop up dirt. First, there's nothing really intruding on the bottom edge, because they're kind of recessed they popped up into the hole, the the bottom of the bolt and there's nothing like. If the angle was this way, would all the dirt would build up behind it? All it's going to have is a piece of angle with an air passage through it. Another piece of angle going this way, so it can possibly still work according to how much you're using it right in worst case, you just run with impact gun, buzz them off and put the other bolts back in all right.

So i got ta cut myself, a bunch of those slabs and then got ta bore holes in those two larger, even those that's a one-inch pin, i think so shhh. Unfortunately it's as slow as it goes. You better be a little bit slower, but look what you got right, bubblegum next, let's see what we did. This looks like it's going to be pretty stout, clean them up and weld them.

I ended up making another bracket and going a smaller size on the hole. So the pin doesn't have so much slop in it if we find that it wiggles around. I just kind of doubt it like look, how much metal is here and we're double that around it. So this is a tab that they're kind of going by.

I was thinking we could. You know we could always bridge back here and back here if we need to stiffen it up a little bit, but i think it's going to be pretty stout and we just pull the pins and we still get the hardware out. I like it, we could also, if we find it's a little too sloppy. We could probably put some shims in on the sides of the pin and probably should take something to take that slop up and then put the key in it.

Take a piece of pipe or something we'll cut: it we'll slide it on and then put the pin in so the pins, not walking so much getting there there's some thick stuff. We have to turn her up to 11. peg that puppy well, that one's a little bit prettier than that one. I don't think either one's gon na fall off i'll, let that cool down a little bit and then we can uh reel the flower blade over to it.
Put the pins in it. Maybe we'll hook that chain up. Yes, maybe i should clean that up and zap that, while we're here, let's drop it down, see we get, i wouldn't say it's terrible yeah. We get adjusted the chain height in tension too.

You know we want the loader much higher than the blade you yeah. That's got to do all the work, not that so you kind of want that we should probably get that out of the way get the jack stands out and we'll lower it to where it touches the ground and i'm hoping to have. You know 68 inches behind the uh under the bucket. That's what we get.

It's got a decent amount of float in these. It's not the a-frame doing it. It's just the pivot point, because, as you're going over the train, the train isn't always flat. So it has to have some give i'd, say it's probably 10 inches of at the edges of the let's blade her off the jack stands.

It's right about. There actually looks pretty good. That's about what i wanted. I see the backdrag blade is touching.

The back drag blade, looks like it's touching before the front blade. The area i have to do is gravel. I wonder if that actually will be a benefit to us or not watching sure that cut edge is pretty worn out, but that's a good height. That's about what i wanted, you figure a pickup truck when it's mounted to it is about that same height too.

If i want to change it, i could just lift the loader up put more length in the chain. It'll allow the blade to come down too. So i guess until it gets moved around in the snow and see how it does you can probably well enough alone. So we got to work on the pivot of the blade and i think we should probably take some wd some scotch-brite we'll get rid of those pits that are on the cylinder, so we're not killing.

Whatever is left of those seals that are on there and then we'll do is we'll lift it up. We can probably push it by hand and we'll see how close we come to the bucket, not that we're going to change it now. But let's see what we get, so it's not going to get rid of the pits, but it's just going to take the high sides off. So when it goes through the seal, it's not scraping the top of it.

The one closest to it says some pretty major pitting on the bottom, probably just one sitting out in the weather due for now, i guess in our articulation looks pretty good. We got about six inches between hitting the loader bucket, so that looks fine, that's full articulation, and i know the tire pressure is low on the that side left side tire, but it looks pretty level which is good because, when you're scraping yeah, when you angle it You don't want it digging one way or the other it'll just dig a trough. You know actually should work out. Your smile you've got a bunch of crap in the center, probably just weld a plate over that just kind of clean it up a little bit.
It's busted out there, it's busted out there i'll do my best to kind of beat them back into submission, and if we find a better plow during the summer time, we'll get that, because this one took a hard hit too this one's got. You know it shows like hit a telephone pole or something it's got a about. 20 inches in you can see that lump the blade on this side is really kicked back on the frame, but it'll do for now. Yeah.

Look at the difference in the height of the two blades. I figured it out because it wiggles so when you're going forward, this blade just flops out of the way and then, when you back dragging you're, going backwards, pulling snow away from like from a garage door. This can't go any more forward and it catches the material and pulls it backwards. Instead of trying to deal with this, where it just kind of wants to ride up off of it all right now, i guess we got to figure out.

The hoses we got is the two coming from the plow blades club laid. So those two lines are connected together right now, and then we have the curl we're gon na disconnect the curl for the bucket and the bucket's going to stay fixed. So that's our two lines to feed the two cylinders on the curl. These two hoses run that cylinder these two hoses run across and run this cylinder.

So it's got quick connects. I see two on that one and two on that one i also see tie wraps. Actually i see a blue see a blue, it looks like a yellow, got a weird combo and i see a blue yeah pink red pink. I say: probably we go clean up.

Some of those fittings and see if we see any other colors, maybe it'll, give us a hint what got connected to what, but essentially we have to get both cylinders disconnected and i think, if you just leave them unplugged there's check valves in each one of them. So the because you don't want the cylinder to move, you don't want that cylinder, allowing fluid to go one way or another else. As soon as you go to pick the front of the tractor up, it's just going to droop down and same thing when you sit down, you want the bucket fixed wherever you leave it. So let's go clean them up and see what we got see if any colors kind of pop up.

So this one has a yellow i'm going to call that yellow plywrap, that one's got a yellow, tie, wrap that one's got blue and it looks like the only ones that have been getting taken apart. Is that one and that one? These are kind of rusty, not saying that it wasn't. But my guess is that yellow that yellow male is going to go with that yellow female they would get plugged together so leave this one open and that one open so would that work? So how would that work? We need one of each of these, so we would have this female a male rather off of this one and then off of this leg somewhere, we we would need a female, and that is the blue one. So the blue one is the female that we're going to use.
So what stops the bucket from curling, though, would it stop the that's one kind of question we got one of each but then isn't the other side still hooked up to the to the loader, or could we just unplug the other one? Can we just unplug the other ones and leave them capped yeah, but she does that's what happens? That's why these have caps on them. Yeah! That's my guess! All right! Let's try! It see what happens. Watch your toes when you unplug them. I got a floor jack underneath it and the blades on the ground, so i'm just worried about unplugging up one of those.

Each each end of each hose is a quick connect. It's not like a disconnect. It's not fluid. Can't come out of it when you pop the line off, they got them hooked up.

How i think they go. We have two cylinders capped off two hoses capped off. We have the lower the lower of this cylinder connected to the higher of that cylinder. I don't know if that's correct, but they both had the yellow high wraps on them.

So that's i'm going to try, if not i'm just going to leave them uncapped and i'm not quite sure what the reasoning would be behind that and then again we have one side connected to one and one side connected to the other. As far as for the curl, let's fire, it up see what we get that's good, so you got ta hammer it a little bit see if anything kind of jostles itself loose better now than never right. One thing i saw was the uh backdrag blade backed itself off. That's the kind of way, that's probably how it goes down.

The trail looks good. I wan na get rid of some of the excess chain looks like he was just trying to save it with all that crap, but we'll cut off some of that excess, get it out of the way. I don't know if this hose is kind of trapped. Now yeah so we'll save some of it.

We'll leave a foot or two on it, but we'll get rid of all that excess. That's on. There looks pretty good huh. I don't see it pissing any fluid out of the cylinders, neither at least at least not right.

Now, i think that's the one that was really bad, how about our couplers? They all will piss a little bit when you disconnect them, but they look pretty good. I think that blue bungee cord is probably to take the excess ones and kind of just loop them up here and tie it to it. So i'll do that nice. I think we got it watch out my wells busted right off.

They look pretty good that patch up top scabbed over the booboo, all right what's next chain for the horde, considering i don't have a horse farm and that's what all this crap in and crap is in front of the grill when we take a screw gun. So you can get all that crap off of there and hopefully there's a a decent grill behind it. If not, maybe we'll just leave that the one that's behind it on it. Let's go see.

I say there was at least 40 drywall screws in there. I'm sure i didn't get them all we're going to find out good place for gloves like 9000 stitches, there's one top right, so buzz a couple out of the other side. I guess i missed that definitely looks a little better. I see a little boo-boo in the rubber there and there, but nothing terrible, and i'm not sure why there's four screws bolts on that lower left, but i think we'll leave those well enough alone.
I could breathe a little bit better, plus it just looks better well. I took a second to make up some battery hold downs and get that squared away and then clean the windows. What do you say we uh throw on some mirrors. Let's see what about there right about you get it right here, i did say, throw on didn't i well other than hitting about 200 grease fittings that it has.

I did end up getting one of those little power, grease guns, you pump up the center of it and pull the trigger uh. I think we're gon na kind of call it right now. I wish it was got it done a couple of days earlier we had snow to go, move around. We could have tried seeing how it operated, but i got to get it over to the property for the next stone storm when it comes so i got ta get this kind of wrapped up, uh, there's more.

I can do like. I said you know, there's a bunch of other stuff to go chase. Most of the wiring has been taken care of. Oh the four wheel drive.

It does have a switch on it for those who watched the first part of the video trying to figure out what was going on they. It is the bottom rocker by the control panel, but somebody unplugged the servo underneath on the differential. I guess it's going to be and i have a feeling it's hard getting in and out of four-wheel drive so for now i'm going to leave it, i'm not going to go screw with that. That would be what i labeled everything with a mark or two, but that one's the four by four and it is just disconnected out front - all the lights are set up and working the rear.

Wiper is not working on an over the switch or the wiper motor or wiring going to it, and everything else has been buttoned up and cleaned up. Radio works should pull the headliner down at some point and it smells like mice up in there, so that still needs to be addressed. Uh along with the cab light. That's on the switch over there.

I think we got her good enough to go. I ordered a strut for this door and at some point, i'm gon na have to get front tires for it, but those are things that are not gon na. Stop it from getting used right now, but again we got what we did. We've got pretty much all the mechanicals done, the cylinders are done on the back, the teeth are done on the bucket, they aired up the tires, got them even got the plow set up squared away.

The electrical has gone through kind of got a little bit of education on it. Oh and there's about 20 people that sent me links to the owner's manual or a pda pdf file of the owner's manual. I had found the same thing too, but i want to say thank you for everybody that sent me a link to that to get educated on it cool machine. Hopefully i don't hurt myself with it or if i do at least catch up on video right.
A little bit of fabrication figuring out how that all that stuff works all right guys with that, i think i'm going to sign off. I want to thank you all for hanging out with me. I may make a video if we do get some decent snow, trying to go run this thing along and see how it does, but that would be for another day, but for this one i think we're going to recall it all right guys, thanks for hanging out With me, take care come on now. Did you really think i'd? Let it leave without putting a spinner on it just know better.

Now we can go cruising for chicks.

    The additional weight and cumbersome of the plow attachment may not be practical. I guess we'll see when the snow hits.
    Dollars to donuts, you'll be doing an emergency removal of the bucket in the snow. Perhaps you should look into how that may work NOW, just in case.

    curl the bucket bucket down and the brackets on top will be verticle for plow. the springs are needed if you hit something stationare like manhole cover and allows blade tto tip and go over object. did this tears age with case 680.

    Looks like the angle cylinders on the plow are single action with high pressure fluid on the back side only, which makes sense, and why the piston shafts can be as messed up as they are, and you only need strength in one direction; otherwise you'd have a double-action cylinder on one side only.

    I'm with the crowd, I'd have taken the bucket off and mounted the plow directly to the bucket arms…

    I'd recommend a healthy slather of anti seize on those plow bolts. Typically we have to torch them off all our bladed units when rotating or replacing the cutting edge. A better investment would be an induction coil tool. You'd be able to heat up any problematic nuts to glowing in a matter of seconds. We purchased one at our shop and it has made a huge difference, most notably when removing the nuts from wheel loaders being used to move gypsum.

    I know I know this gonna sound like a troll love your vids buds but 5 times I was screaming at this vid most of them at the plow on the bucket the other was the teeth on the backhoes bucket that was right the other was when you where moving the drop arms dry but love your vids just be careful of that set up with the plow on the bucket i always used the bucket for moving snow they do make a plow that fits where the bucket goes

    Youโ€™re a braver man than I am with those outriggers and a come-along. Installing the hydraulic cylinders with the outriggers in the up position was also an option. Also you can use air to operate the cylinders or connect the hoses to adjust the in or out to get the lined up.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Van Dorn says:

    I often wonder why folks don't add on the third accessory hydraulic or electric and then fabricate a plow to go over the bucket like a clamshell for the option of filling up the bucket or just pushing. If I ever get a bigger tractor I'm going to give it a try

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Akehurst says:

    Iโ€™m with Jeff Joy. Surely the front bucket is demountable and could be replaced by the plough. But again, mirroring otherโ€™s comments, why? Sell the plough and buy other made to measure โ€œtoysโ€ to be attached which are more significantly different. A hole auger or cement mixer bucketโ€ฆโ€ฆ

    My old boss from my carpenter days, had a BIG backhoe that he mounted a snowplow blade on the bucket and he made a good living on the Maine turnpike. An old idea, I guess there's not much that's new, in the world. This was BIG and could easily handle those wide turnpike lanes. c.1975

    Suggestionโ€ฆโ€ฆlearn from other peoples experiences. Learning by your own experiences is expensive, wasteful and downright dangerousโ€ฆ.i just read on this viewerโ€™s experience that the bucket blocks the view of the work or road when using both plow and bucket at the same time. How does he know? What did he hit? How much did it cost him? Why do most comments say they never use both at the same time? Please go back and read my first sentence agIn, slower this time.. experience is the most dangerous, costliest, time wasting , way to solve a problemโ€ฆlearn from other peopleโ€™s mistakes rather than your own if their info and suggestions are available. By the wayโ€ฆโ€ฆMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope you are not reading this comment from a hospital bed..

    With the kind of work you do you're not going to get rid of this thing once you see what that loader can lift. My father had one of those old Ford/Balmar backhoes with a similar capacity loader and I miss that thing all the time around my own property. I work around not having it, but that thing was so handy to have around. I could lift up a 4000 lb car length-wise off the front of that beast. It was amazing for scrapping and anything else you would need a loader for, and then of course there's the occasional digging work with the backhoe. Would you rather have an off-road forklift and a small excavator? Yes. Do each of those cost as much or more as this whole used machine you bought? Also yes.

    sorry I was in a hit-and-run accident 3yrs ago I'm having and hard time through it. and it's no fun. sorry . Jay the Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”งMutie1

    We don't have to worry much about snow where I'm from so I was just coming in to the comments to see why you would you would want to mount the plow blade onto the bucket but it seems to be pretty much common concensus that the bucket should come off first. We have a JCB 3cx and it's no big deal to drop the front bucket off that and mount something else.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan Hedman says:

    the ones we had a work had the traditional angle adjustment behind the blade and that had two giant C clamps that bit down on the bucket and a chain to a hook on top of the bucket. Ours were manually adjustable as far a angle adjustments were.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M Knight says:

    Make holes in your angle to go over the bolts with enough clearance to remove them if need be and weld the flat end of angle to the topside of the blade and reenforce the ends and side for torx.

    OR,

    remove your bucket,

    fab a new attachment custom for the plow.
