Backhoe Routine Maintenance.

[gkm]

=====================

Here is a picture of my new 28' square pole barn complete with 9' doors and concrete floor including drive approach. This land including road back for my CK20 and attachments was cleared from my heavily mature wooded land. 0f course that included removal of dozens of tree stumps and fill all done with the little ck and it's backhoe attachment.

Rather than a chain hoist to move my snow blower or backhoe around while unattached and stored, I just set them on top of those four wheel furniture dolly's. They are about $20 each at HD or Lowe's. That stuff wheels out of the way easily that way.

I do the same thing, i.e., use those furiture dollies to sit my backhoe on for ease of moving around in my shed.

I had one of the pins that hold the bucket on lose the bolt in the end and start to work its way out. Now I check over all pins and fasteners every couple of uses. It'd be really easy to bend something badly if a pin was part way out.

Really good point Jim.

PS: nice to get this thread back on track after I detour it with the shelter discussion.
