CK30 attaching BackHoe

[Notlaker]

Hoping this will save some other person some time. I was attempting to attach the KB2475 backhoe and not having much luck. I had already done this several times without any issues. This time I could not get it to go all the way into the slot in the back. The holding pins would not go in because of it. I tried slamming it togehter in reverse without any luck. Searched high and low underneath to see what was preventing it from going in all the way.

I decided to give up and detatch the hoses and move forward completely away from the backhoe and stuck my fingers in the slot and lo and behold there was some caked on mud that had become compressed and hard as rock.

Took a stick to it and scraped it off real easy and needless to say, attached backhoe in no time at all. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

That happened to me once too. I never forget to check the receiver slot now. Your post may save another member some time.

Speaking of unattached backhoes, It sure is easy to grease those lower pins and boom swing cylinder pins while that backhoe is off the tractor. Not only that but when you grease those lower boom pins leave a little grease on those parts that have to slide together or mate tractor to subframe attachments. That is a good time have
your backkhoe maintained for a long life
