INMAC Front End Loaders?

[mungus]

Anybody heard of a brand called INMAC?

There were apparently sold in the 1980's onwards. They sold FEL's and 4 in 1's for smaller to mid sized tractors, etc. Maybe up to 50/60 hp?

I cannot find anything on Google etc, except 2nd hand compact and mid sized tractors for sale equipped with their FEL's.
Unfortunately the national distributor doesn't seem to be in business any more so no help there...

I am looking at one with a 4 in 1, to buy and adapt to my FIAT 780 (78hp).
Its called a INMAC Compact Combination and the model number looks like; 1130 L120

Any clues?

Hi its probably a bit late.... But I have got one... and a Back hoe as well on a Kubota 245DT.

I've got one with a backhoe as well attached to a Leyland 154. There is a post and photo in The Nuffield and Leyland Tractor Club this month re Aussie 154's with Inmac attachments. Did you have any luck? Mine has a serious leak in the control valves and I'm looking for parts.

My father had a Leyland 154 with an Inmac compact deluxe backhoe. I thought Inmac was in Caringbah he used to take it there if something major needed fixing
.This is going back some time, I think he sold it in '83 or '84, I'd be surprised if it still existed

Just joined up to bump this old thread.
I have a 1982 Ford 1900 4WD (Shibaura made) with an INMAC "Compact combination" FEL and backhoe on it (model number RF120 L108), in Melbourne Australia.

I'm trying to figure out the make and model of the unmarked hydraulic swing motor for the backhoe. Ive re-sealed the top of the thing, but I'm sure it will need deeper work with wiper seals at some point soon and I'm reluctant to put it to real work until I can figure this out. I know that custom wiper seals can be guessed at and made but have been told by my trusted hydraulic shop that they are expensive and won't last long and he wouldn't do it.

Has anyone managed to figure out what brand/make swing/slew motors/cylinders they used on these things?
The valve blocks for the FEL and backhoe are USA made Gresen, and the front PTO mounted hydraulic pump for the standalone FEL and backhoe hydraulics is a Sperry Vickers also USA made (I think).

For some extra detail, the round shaft in the middle of the swing motor is 70mm and has a Nachi E30214J bearing on the top of it (as deep as I have gone), and the round shaft is machined for a 2" square shaft on the top and bottom for it to couple to the backhoe. 12 bolts on the top and bottom flanges with 3 jacking holes in each. Top of the square shaft has a 73 and a 9-or-6 stamped in it.

Im hitting a lot of dead ends trying to search and call around for this.
Ive looked at every YouTube I can on rebuilding these kind of swing motors, but none look like mine and most seem to be a similar style but different make/design thing common to Massey Ferguson backhoes.
Would appreciate any tips,
cheers
