757C backhoe On/Off installation

[johnnylight]

after removing from TC 34DA a few hours later my back hoe (757C)releases it self collaspes so it can go no further to the floor.(days later)

It's a real pain in the --- when trying to put it back on it has so much pressure the hose wil not connect back on,so I have to jack it up with my hydralic jack to realease pressure.

I read on here last year about a portable dolly for backhoes --do you think this would help?

Is this normal the way the dealer says it is...

any other suggestions

Thanks in advanced.

Lower the backhoe to the ground before disconnecting the hoses. There is absolutely no reason to leave the hoe suported by any hydraulic cylinders. Doing so is a large safety hazard as well as creating unnecessary difficulty when reconnecting the hoe to the tractor. The latter you are learning, hopefully the former doesn't become a problem.

Upon disconnecting from the tractor, do you connect the backhoe loose ends together ?

RickB,

I leave the backhoe frame to the ground. I always leave the bucket in a safe position at all times
The backhoe is usally off for a short period 4-5 days between cutting the grass aka weeds this time of the year up north.
Backhoe stays on all winter.

So should I leave the BH totally collasped to the floor?
my exp is limited with backhoe storage.
it doen't take me long to dissconnect/reconnect (I learned how to that)
I like the idea of a dolly to move her around.


Willl,

I never connect the hoses.
Is this what I missed?

I built a dolly for mine http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...t-pineridge-bh-dolly-wow.html?highlight=dolly. I can't find the plans, but I'm sure Pineridge would send them to you. It is just so much easier for me to reattach the BH, since I can easily adjust the alignment of the frame.
I'm just about the reverse of you. I have the BH off, except when I need it, so the dolly has really worked well for me.

lhfarm, Pineridge,

nice job on the dolly-you guys should start your own prodution line of dollys.
put me down for one.

I do have a mig and stick welder.
I rather buy it from you guys --I have too many projects go on right now.

walkways,pool decking w/pavers.
landscaping.

Don't know if it'll help, shouldn't hurt any.

It's what I do with mine, then just before disconnecting the loose ends, I give the sticks another twirl.

Thanks will do.

First you say the hoe collapses so it can go no further to the floor shortly after unhooking. Then you say you lower the frame to the ground when detaching. When you disconnect the hoses, no part of the hoe should be borne by the oil trapped in a cylinder. All hydraulic pressure should be released by shutting off the tractor and cycling all of the backhoe controls a few times. Coupling the hoses together serves only to keep the tip and coupler clean. Whether or not a dolly is used, the safest way to keep a detached hoe is resting on the frame and bucket.

Sorry for the confusion,

yes the frame is to the ground.
Stabilizers and the bucket collaspe leaving the problem.

as per operators manual:
# 2 install swing lock pin--(I never do this)
# 3 completely raise boom and lower dipperstick. Curl bucket until bottom of bucket is level with ground. Lower boom until bucket rest firmly on ground.

my bucket and stabilizers will not hold this position for long period of time.
