That is all that makes sense to me, as the packed grease is held in by...

    Any info on a MF 50 B Backhoe

    Any idea of what a good price would be? Suppose to be a 92 model, but looks older. The backhoe stabilizer arms go straight down versus extended out at a angle. Seems this would not give stability when using the hoe? Anyone had any experience?--Ken Sweet Sweet Farm Equipment Co.
