Backhoe Jinma LW-6

Anyone ever beefed up a LW-6? Frame looks a little puny to me.

Yes, I did. I call it LiTW. :laughing:

So, do you own a LW-6?
Many people have had good luck with them but I believe they are a minority.

A fellow on CTOA's old site completely rebuilt and modified his boom pivot - three or four days labor and a few hundred bucks worth of steel. Another one installed a set of Prince valves in his ($1,000.00+). Personally, I didn't buy a backhoe to reverse-engineer it.

I agree on reverse engineering. I have inhereted one and had rather beef it up than repair the light weight.

Thanks for the reply.
