Tractor backhoe - homemade

[BFreaky]

Tube weld problem...and a solution. Tube has to be clean inside to get the stabilizers to slide tight

Grinder on a stick?

 

[Sysop]

MacGyver'd Grinder = MacGrynder

 

[BFreaky]

Yes, it's the only solution. Works great. but it has to be a small grinder. Took me 15 minutes/tube

Are you using the same mounts as your previous backhoe, or did you build new mounts?

 

[BFreaky]

I left the previous frame on the tractor. It could not be fitted to a different tractor, one would have to build a new subframe. It's like front loaders, they make them all the same, you just need a frame for your type of tractor. Right now this is an advantage because I will build it quicker

That's seriously good renderings and commerical quality subframe. Impressive work.

Work for yourself and market your products. If you can do that you will be more successful than being an engineer for someone else. Your talent is envyable. I'm speaking as a non technical type that has worked for himself for the past 28 years.
Great stuff!

 

[BFreaky]

Thanks EKlee, I will try to start my own little buisness.
Today's work, main frame at 70%

How are you going to make it slide, weld heavy flatbar against the tube frame so it will be like a FEM forklift frame ?

 

[BFreaky]

Yes, heavy flatbar 120x20 mm, 30 mm above and below tube

 

[BFreaky]

Welding it

Excellent work as usual! Are you going to make the side shift hydraulically adjusted or you just slide it with the boom?
