This ones for sale on ebay now Dynahoe
Price is a little high compared to some others I have seen sold here. This model has the detroit deisel and from what I have seen they sell for much more than the model I have with the john deere engine. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif For what reason I don't know?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( You gave one away and you had a hard time doing it! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Hmmmm, you need to quit going to those avon parties.
/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gifSorry but, I just had to say it.
What made you feel this way. Did you have bad luck? )</font>
it was given to me and at the time i didn't understand why the guy was happy to get rid of it. that is until the day i watched it leave.
it had a detroit that ran great. the one i had was too big for it's own good, the bucket on the backhoe was 36" it had a hard time doing anything. at 37000lbs once it's on anything other than a hard packed stone road it will sink to it's axle's. it's rear steering and over all size made it hard to maneuver. oh and i spent almost as much time working on it, there was always something that ended up needing to be fixed.

Well I feel much better with my choice now. Like I said I tried one of them out (200-4) and no doubt it was liven large. It was parked in the front lawn of a house that it just ran over. So it seemed impressive especially after owning an early model 580 case. However I didn't like the detriot diesel although I haven't heard anything bad about them except that you can hear them loud and clear. At 38000 lbs I would have to think that mud would be a problem. I compromised with the 490k at 24000 lbs (7 ton lighter) very simular to the 190-4 models. so far I'm very satisfied. Its painted and some decals on it. I will put up pics as soon as possible.

Scott I worked for an outfit from Poplar Bluff Missouri that built water treatment plants. I was in Paragould a afew times every couple months. Huffman was the outfit's name. I wished I vcould have gone around seemed like an interesting place. Alot of the time we would work 2 das and come home when they needed a few spare hands or moving material.
I hope to have a few of these Dynahoe located nearby in a few months or so. Ild like one to help with my sidebusiness demolition. I have a friend that told me Icould have his gravle vein if I dig it and haul it off. Hes wants his hill he built his house ont downsized a bit.

Just a little railroad town in between the delta and the hills...
I've heard of Huffman... Don't remember where now...
That dynahoe should be able to handle loading gravel pretty easy.

Ok Scott I need to pick your brain again
I need to get stop and turn lamps. The only info on the existing lamps is "speaker 270" do you know what that means. Paint-done' Decals-done, lights-not done. All I need is some lights and its picture time. I will share pics as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone for the info.
cya, Dean

Speaker brand doesn't sound familar. I'd probably try Grote for somthing similar. A decent Oreily's,carquest, or napa should have a grote catalog behind the counter.

Looks Great!! Job well done! Did you have the decals made or find a source? Now we need some action shots! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
There's a 200-4 on Ebay right now and a 140 as well. Bit far to ship though.

I got the decals from a company on the internet called quipcal.com. Excellent job. I was very impressed. They made the stickers to oem specs and can also make custom designs. Practically anything you want. Price is right too. I will get some action shots up asap. Im working it on a job now. just need to remember the camera. ya know the thing ya never have around when somthing cool is happening.

Recently, I was given a Dynahoe backhoe loader. It sat behind my boss's house for the last 8 years without running. Well the boss wants it gone! I've put in a few hours going over the machine and replacing fuel lines, plug wires, distributor, etc, etc... I'm pretty sure it still needs a head gasket, but I'm unsure what the engine is. It's a 4 cyl. gas motor. Looks like a Ford industrial type. The backhoe doesn't have any identifying markings that I could find. It's got a Drott 4-in-1 front bucket, totally open cockpit. Could this be a very early model? It looks like it should date to the 60's. I'll post pictures when I get a chance. Any info is appreciated.

Well, with some research I was able to determine mine is a Dynahoe 120. I've no idea what year model it is. It has a Ford 192 inch 4 cyl. industrial gas motor. I got a head gasket for it, and now she purrs like a kitten.....well not quite, but for it's age it's surprisingly strong. I need to address my brakes, or lack thereof, next. The pedals go straight to the floor. I may be in need of some master cylinders as well. The 4-in-1 front loader is quite handy! What a beast this machine is.
The original master cylinders (Wagner 17095) were 3/4" bore. I could not find a rebuild kit for a 3/4" bore anyway. I bought a newer master cylinder from Wagner that has a 1" bore. I have not put them on yet. they are a little different but useable. If you need the number i wil post it. I want to put wheel cylinders on the brakes but I have never taken the tires off yet. I hope the brake drum comes off over the Planetry gears and axle, once the tire and rim are removed.Does anyone know? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Fireman1501@aol.com
1975 160 C Dynahoe. While coverting over to an alternator with built in regulator, I noticed that the fan assy had bad bearings. I had trouble getting it apart and i read you can not put on a belt without disconnecting the pump pto anyway. I decided to just upgrade the system. I took an electric fan off of an 80's model Olds and it fit right into the radiator shroud. Wired it in and works great. No more belts on fan or pump PTO!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Tim Williams Fireman1501@aol.com
Well, after two months of running,I had a flat on the rear tire.
Now would be aq good time to go the brake job. I have it torn down and you do have to pull the planetary gears and axle, to get tho the brakes. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to get it apart. No big deal. I have pictures and plan on writing a narrative on it. Both sides of mine had a broke return spring on the shoes. That was the major item wrong. If anyone has a Dynahoe 160C 2WD and you need info on the brake repair or adjustment, email me at Fireman1501@aol.com. Tim williams North Alabama.
