    Backhoe Bleeding fuel and keeping it started

    I'm having issues keeping my backhoe running. I had to replace the return line so after I bled the air from the system and got it started, it stays running but its having issues after putting it in gear with some throttle then it suddenly dies. It stays in neutral for as long as I would let it...

    Tractor Losing power going up hill

    I have a New Holland LB75 backhoe. When I first bought the machine, it was not taken care of very well but but would go up this certain hill (~25ft ~20% grade) quite easily in second gear. A year has passed, and I did quite a bit of maintenance to the machine (changed the fuel filter, hydraulic...

    Shuttle Shifter Electrical issue?

    I have a New Holland LB75.B which has a shuttle shifter. When I was going up a 10% grade hill, it gave out and rolled backwards safely. Checked the fuse box and my F4/A fuse was blown. Put in another and went reverse, that works, but as soon as I put it in Forward drive, the fuse blows. I'm...

    Steering Issue

    The steering just went out on my tractor without having weight on the front but after leaving it off for a few minutes then starting back up again, it works but only for a minute. Is the cylinder the issue or the steering pump?

    Converting a Backhoe bucket?

    I'm looking for backhoe buckets that will fit mine, the issue is a lot of the buckets have tapered ears. The front set of ears normally are fine - 8-10" from ear to ear, but the back ones seem to be normally 5-1/2" apart. Is there any way I could make it fit on mine? First image: my NH Lb75.b...

    10-12" bucket for a backhoe?

    I'm about a week or two out from digging my footers for my house along with a trench for wiring/piping etc. The bucket on my backhoe is 18" which is far too wide for what I need to dig. Have any of you made your own or know of a good supplier for a 10" backhoe bucket where the pin holes are at...

    Loose Extendahoe Padding material

    My extendahoe is a bit loose swinging from side to side when I drive it. I'm assuming its because the pads are worn out. Because I need (4) pads - $450 bucks for some plastic, I'd rather make them myself. What type of material is normally used for these? is it polycarbonate? # 10 is what I'm...

    Hydraulic Fluid... mixing?

    I'm not sure what kind of hydraulic fluid is currently in the machine but it looks fine. I just need to add more fluid so would it be bad to mix? What I'd add is ISO 32. The service manual is asking for ISO 32/46 or NH 140(expensive)

    Hydraulic fluid? Found in Operator Manual or Service Manual?

    After recently purchasing my New Holland, I was told to purchase either an Operator's manual or service manual to understand the tractor more so I searched their website which directed me to a document purchasing place and saw there are operators manuals and service manuals. Operators manuals...

    Using Backhoe with different size pin bucket

    When I purchased my backhoe, it came with another bucket that makes ripping tree stumps much easier. The only downside is the diameter of the hole for this bucket is about 1/2" larger than the bucket it came with where it was nice and snug. Are there steel spacers for this sort of thing so the...

    Noobie learning how to grade into a hill

    Hello all, I'm new to this forum as well as operating a backhoe. I own a 2006 New Holland LB75. So far it's been great for taking out tree stumps and clearing land, digging holes for sewer tanks etc. but I've yet to learn how to grade properly. Is the technique starting off straight & level...
