Backhoe Backhoe Picture Quizz????

Bigbear · Mar 21, 2005

I got the backhoe with the tractor package. Everything was new but the backhoe, dealer said it was only a month old, brought back by a customer who could not make it work. Here is a link to a picture, http://photos.imageevent.com/paintballpictures/tractor/websize/6-27-04%20447.jpg
Here is a link with more pictures of the tractor (other stuff also) just click the tractor section to see other pics. http://www.imageevent.com/paintballpictures

It works good now that I fixed the spools, up was down, down was up, right was left, you get the picture. I would like to know what kind it is so I can replace some bushings. I improvised some and they work, but would like to have the originals. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would have to guess that it is a Guilin or Jinma hoe. Maybe LW8? It looks large. They are made in China. Seems odd that your having bushing issues if they only had it a month. Affordable Tractor has some parts for them. I had bought another bucket from them to make a narrow bucket for drain tile trenching.
thx

That's what I thought, only one month old and all that wear. But, the design and steel construction is good, the plastic bushings just won't hold up. I had to shim (large washer) on one side to keep the plastic bushing from moveing out of the pin hole. The bushing needs to be .750 wide with an ID of 1.350 and OD of 1.750. I cut off a pc of SCH 80? may have been SCH 40 (grey-electrical conduit) that the pin fit perfect into, and the OD is alittle small but seems to work so far. I run the conduit pc from side to side, instead of one .750 on each side. This bushing is at the bucket. I keep shooting grease into it and hope for the best. Checked with a local machine shop about custom brass bushings and the cost was about 30 dollars each. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif That will buy several feet of plastic EMT.

Jinma/Guilin are one in the same. Guilin recommends >50hp for the LW8. For the 30-35hp range, they recommend the LW7.

There's a reasonable representation of the Rhino backhoe line on THIS PAGE. I threw it on the table simply because of the Chinese connection. If the Jinma/Guilin response is correct, you might find something HERE to help further identify your model

But you'll be done messin' with it. Plastic bushings? Wow. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Thanks greg_g, I believe it looks most like the Jinma. It does have something that I have not seen on most others. There are 2 sets of attachment points, one lower that I now use for the pick up arms and another set about 18" higher. The top, or 3rd link attaches right on the seat post. I wondered if it was set up this way for use on a china dozer.
