One more pic. I tried to take a pic of the 2 holes I drilled at the bottom of the tube, but the sun was all wrong. If you look at the shadows tho, you can see them...LOL
I took the pintle hitch out for the pics, but I honestly leave it in all the time unless it gets in the way, which isn't often. You could also recess the tube back a bit further to make it flush with the bucket, but I personally like mine where it is.

Where in Russia Honcho? That's beautiful! While I understand Russia is a massive country I didn't expect something that looked like that! That could be Tennessee...

We (me) don't EVER see the vertical stabilizers. Ours are all bat wing stabilizers. Yours are 6 feet apart. Mine are 10 feet.
I wonder why one country uses pretty much exclusively, one style, the rest of the world uses the other.
New Holland is a minor share of the market here, my friends would own nothing else. They buy every Ford, or New Holland machine that comes to the used market.
They used Ford Trucks, now Sterling, I think Sterling is now out of production.
Everything possible, Ford!! Ford construction equipment has become New Holland. They bought a NH excavator 2 years old. A new compact track loader; NH.

Aighead, I live in the south of Russia, the Black sea side , city of Tuapse. It is native name of two rivers, one is white n clean, other muddy. they meet right at our city. Caucasian ridge of mountains starts here, those hill s are they. City is sea port, and partly summer reasort. The sea port works on oil, coal, fertilisers, metal n grain. Most population of the city works there, I dont , once I got proposal to work on a hydraulic crane loader, but I didn t agree, rules there are too strict, one got to ask a permission to go to pee three times before he is let out -- joke. But very close to truth. Ppl rat on each other there, wage is great, and some 30 years ago dockers were best paid population. Now not, though they still get good money. I value mental freedom and peace of mind more than big money.
My hoe was pushing trees, before laying down on the job. I couldn't reach the kill switch, it smoked badly from the exhaust then died out. I righted with my truck, then tried to start it. It's acting like a hydrostatic lock. It will crank through one cyl. then the starter motor stalls. Going to see if it fixes itself overnight, or is that too risky ? Just crack the injectors before doing anything ? I hope I didn't bend a rod. Thoughts please.

Oil filled a cylinder. Cylinder comes to compression stroke, can't compress. Open the cylinder top up crankcase oil & turn it over.
Air filter was full of oil, as was the number one cylinder. I couldn't get the injector to budge... cracked the high pressure fuel line and the return fuel nut, but for the life of me couldn't get the injector loose.
Ended up sticking a screwdriver between the rocker arm and the valve stem and cranking it. I know I got lucky, not sure if the valves are an interference fit. Anyhow it runs again, now.

Been busy excavating for footers... finished the forms yesterday and will get the rebar done this weekend.
Just need to get the forms inspected and then I can schedule the cement. Moving forward.... with lowering lumber prices!!

Nice. That will be easy to figure your mud.
I have a question-
The pins spaced around are for horizontal form stability?
You will add your verticals after the pour?
Around here, they do not allow steel to pass from the soil into the concrete

Used 1/2" Al rod to mark the corner point. The soil ( rock/ bedrock) kept me from driving the rod so I had to use the forms to 'locate' those points. Those vertical points also allowed me to square the layout.
I figure to pour around, then saw off flush, the masons will then have a start point. Hope the inspector is OK with it....
The verticals get added as we pour..... and I will make "H" braces to straddle the forms and support those and brace the forms.
My numbers show 25' of form = 1 yd of concrete.

I need your luck. I would guess we got about 1.5" of rain...Every time I dry up, rain comes.
Been using my CUT New holland backhoe to work on my basement entrance way. It too is pure mud today, but I am working it.
I think the forks on the bucket saved my back this week between the concrete blocks and the 32 bags of concrete mix!!

Put 4 hours straight on my machine this morning. 105* heat index, dusty conditions, and AC running full blast. Temp gauge never got over the halfway mark. I think it's safe to say my radiator clean out I did last fall is a success.
This area all looked like the cluster to the right before I started. Only displaced out one rat and one bunny.
