Backhoe Stabilizer Bumpers

Here's something else I found a good use for in my stash of junk (I me parts).

Steve I realize it's a bumper but I don't recognize what it's made from. Does it eliminate the metal on metal slapping?

It's a rubber bumper off of who knows what. It stops the stabilizer from slamming into the backhoe when I forget to slow it down on the way up. It also stops the hoses from being pinched between the framework and the cylinder as well. I sort of got too close when I took the picture.

I had the problem with my Kioti BH on the first use. Pinched the left side hose and had to get a new hose and cylinder. I has thinking of getting a coupe of the hood bumpers from Kioti and doing something similar.

What material are yours? How did you fasten them? I really need to do something 'cause one of these days I'm not going to be babying the arm up and..... OUCH again.

Never felt the need for a rubber bumper on the New Holland BH. The hydraulic lines must be better protected because I have slapped the stabilizers up on more than one occasion and haven't done any damage, yet.

If someone needed a set of bumpers I'm thinking that a set of toe stops like they use on roller skates might do the same thing and they are already pre-drilled to be bolted on and are inexpensive to boot. toe stop link

My bumpers are from Jon DePratt. They are from land Pride. I'm supposed to be taking pictures for kiotijohn, but I can't ever remember to do it. I'll try to do it today! They work great.

You can buy rubber bumpers with a stud bonded on one side, then either drill and thread the hole or drill thru and put a nut on, they're cheap too. Grainger has 'em for example, in all different sizes.......

Looks good Steve. Something that just occurred to me is that one could go to a you pull it auto grave yard and take off the bumpers from under the hood used to keep the hood tight and not rattling. Should make a good bumper for the backhoe stailizers and shouldn't cost much at all.

Ok, here's my bumpers. Pardon the dirty tractor. Been in the mud digging wet clay.
