Hello, name is Tim Bradham. I’ve recently bought 8 acres to build our dream home/garage. I also bought a ‘84 JCB 1550B 2WD Backhoe, to help in clearing the property. It would not move when I purchased it, which I knew. Ended up who I bought from, her Dad drained all the hydraulics, to include to trans and serviced it, but did not add any fluids in the trans. I’ve gotten the backhoe working, replaced all the tires, repacked 4 cylinders (which the last one being the boom, I did myself). I’ve got two issues, the right rear landing cylinder goes down slow, but up fast, and the rear bucket as yesterday comes in fast, but started moving slowly out. Other than that, I’m a happy camper with it. I hope being on here I can learn more it, as I feel I’m doing pretty good so far. Thanks for having me, Tim
