Another Restoration Project

[aircommuter]

I sold it. I used it to work on starting my underground business and on my second new house project. Then I bought a new turbocharged unit with a 4 in 1 loader bucket and a hydraulic jack hammer. I paid $2500 for it. Even though the backhoe was well used the loader was like it was never used. It needed a front counter weight since that 15’ backhoe was so heavy. I still have my 1956 Clark forklift that didn’t have a ROPS, but that was the first thing I made for it. That was another restoration I forgot about. It’s a handy little tool. I used it to build my mini storage project. I recently purchased a 116 gallon Diesel tank that has fork slots and it is great for putting it in and out of my truck.

A backhoe with a 4 in 1 bucket has to be the handiest thing ever invented!!! If I ever buy another one, that's going to be a must have!!!

There were at least two makers. Drott which was bought out by Case. Which is on my Massey project. Then Ulrich that I put on my 750 Case crawler loader. Another forgotten project. That bucket had a couple more linkage pieces on the clam that made it stay parallel to the ground as it closed during the last 12”, allowing for single hand operation. Now try to find a picture. I sold my 750 when the 855D came out with wet brakes.
