Backhoe How to videos

Yes you can purchase them from the dealer. As far as caps there are companies like tisco, and high capacity that sell universal caps for hyd. lines. Pretty cheap also.

I got my caps at TSC.

The first time I did mine it came off without a problem, getting it back on was another matter. I left the stabilizer legs out supporting the backhoe and the arm extended. I did place a cinderblock under the assembly after I pulled away from the unit. Came back in a week and could not get the hoses to connect. There was still pressure on the hydraulic hoses which thwarted any attempt at reconnecting the quick disconnects. I now "relieve" any pressure on the hoses before disconnecting them. Once your backhoe is free from the tractor shut it down and wiggle every valve on the backhoe - it will settle some as the fluid pressure stabilizes. Then pop your quick disconnects..... When you go to reattach you will not have to do what I did and Loose a fitting to reconnect.
Hope this helps
