I have a Case 850B loader with the 35 BK-H backhoe unit, I have had it for about 35 years and put a lot of hours on it, it's a great machine and in general I keep it well maintained.
My current maintenance project is, the swing tower to boom pins are getting worn and I would like to replace. There is a kit that replaces the two short pins with one long pin, it includes new bushings and weld on bosses for the repair.
The problem I see with this is that the hoses (that I recently made all new) will have to be longer to go around the new pin rather than stay between the two old pins and will be much more exposed to damage.
I also would like to find a parts diagram for mine, 35 BK-H 5415398 and a possible parts donor 35 BK-H 5398465 to see if they are compatible.
What thoughts and guidance do you have.
Thanks
