I have an old montgomery wards cement mixer i inherited from a friend without a motor. I put an old electric motor on it, and later added a skid steer plate to it, so i could move it around with my tractor, and later still did significant reinforcements on the frame so i could dump it without...

If I'm interpreting the manual correctly, this is what the above pictures are: The first one goes to the hydraulic PTO and the fourth one with the broken wires is the auxiliary detent which I guess must be normally open as what I'm assuming they are referring to as my aux hydraulics (middle...

I have a JCB midi cx tractor/loader/backhoe that has developed a weird electrical problem. It first manifested itself as reduced cranking power (acted like the battery was weak when it wasn't) and eventually progressed into immediately blowing the 40A fuse when I turned the ignition switch to...

I've got a JCB Midi CX tractor/backhoe back in 2009 - solid machine. I ordered a hydraulic brush mower a little over a year ago and have slaughtered many acres of blackberries and 8-10ft scotch broom with it. I just used the auxiliary hydraulic connector on the front of the loader to run it...

I bought a JCB midi cx TLB last year and have generally been pleased with it. The rear hydraulic connections for the detachable subframe backhoe have two half inch skidsteer style quick connects and what appears to be a smaller 1/4" or 3/8" quick connect. When you have the backhoe on, all...
