B4672A Question

[FABEATS]

I just purchased a B4672A backhoe on Ebay. Got it from McGrew in PA. Great group to Ebay with. I was wondering if anyone knows of a website I could down load the owner/operators manual from. I have the hoe on my B7500 and it is working out great but would like to review the manual. Talked to my local dealership and they said they would need to contact Kubota and see if they can get me one.

Second, do I need to purchase anything additional to attach this to my tractor. Both pins are in the top link and the lower link is tied in. Hydraulic pump is attached and the insert is in the slot for the draw bar. Did I do it right?

Third, Thanks for the replies.

Congrat's on your BH purchase.
BEFORE YOU USE YOU BACKHOE. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE HEAVY DUTY TOP LINK BRACKET INSTALLED.
The 2 piece bracket that is standard on B series tractors is not heavy enough to support the BH. 4690 BH manual in also the 4672 manual.
Here are a couple of threads that should help.
B4690 Backhoe and B7800 HSD
Kubota Top Link Bracket part numbers
If you do not get all your info, PM me and I will scan the necessary pages.

Ron,
Thanks for the info it is alot of help. I will be visiting my dealer to order the top link brackey. Reading some of the post i'm not sure i understand the "frame" reinforcing brakets. Do you know anything about this?
Again thanks for the info.

Not sure about the frame reinforcing. If you have a FEL it should already exist.

Ron, Thanks again. I was able to purchase the reinforced toplink piece at the local dealer tonight. Happened to have one laying in the corner of the shop. Told me that Kubota likes to ship extra parts and he gave me a deal on it. It will be on tomorrow night. He said the same thing about the under carriage. The owners manual he had to order that's going to cost $26.

having gone through a frame stiffener / 4672a install this past weekend --

-- the stiffener kit is INDEPENDENT of the front loader bucket --

-- make sure to get the stiffener kit put on BEFORE the hoe!
