DIY Backhoe parts

[chris daring]

In 2011 I started building a backhoe with the caddigger plans. In 2012 I started building a house. Obviously the house took priority over the backhoe. I built the three point hitch frame, both the slew and digger arms the pivot the bucket and a set of bolt on teeth. I also bought all of the hydraulic components minus the hoses. After moving it around my yard several times I think I have come to the realization that I have abandoned the project. I am looking to see if anyone is interested in the parts. I live in Delaware so anyone nearby would be best as I figure shipping would be expensive. I would be willing to donate all of the parts that I built and would be looking for any offer on the hydraulics. Whew! That was hard to admit to myself!!

It looks like you're most of the way done. Finish it! I'm sure others will push you along if you post more progress pics!

^ +1 Looks like there's not much more to go, I'd encourage you to finish it as well. And if you do sell it anyway, you'll get a better price.

With stalled projects you usually need a deadline. We had a dirt buggy parked in the bush under a tarp, once started because my pal lost control of his left hand because of a car crash and he had to sell the dirt bike he bought two weeks before. When he picked himself up in a few weeks after returning from the hospital, and found work, wife and family, we had no motivation to get er done.

Till we were invited at a mud race event in the town we made some new friends. That was a good way to get a stalled project going again
