#7 your post put a smile on my face when I was looking at the pic. 1st time I was wondering why I couldn't remember steps and a handle. The only mod. I made for the one I had was a handle to unlock the boom I could reach easily from the cab.

Billrog...
Great idea for a jib pole!
I love it! Very resourceful! +10

TY Plongson I was amazed it worked so well at the time but it was a lot of trips for me on and off the machine and up on the roof . That was 1990.

Had a bit of a scare back then when plowing snow was heading down my driveway around a corner and couldn't slow down. A cinch I had on the floor of the machine jammed the throttle wide open. Had a neighbor with a skidder pull me back up on the rd.

I can't figure it out...things like that were much easier in 1990...LOL I don't feel older but my body sure does.

I believe I have a case 580 b series 35 backhoe tractor. I also think it's a 580 bck model
I'm redoing the hydraulic cylinder pistons and seals. What do you all think check out the paint job woo hoo . A good woman can't get between a man and his hoe

 

[Swampfoxo]

I had to drop in a used motor the seat pedestal needs work. I've rewired the dash it has just a push button start no key. I eliminated that. Or rather age did it. It moves good in low speeds but will not climb a hill in fast gear.

these models did not have 4wd

 

[planecrazzzy]

I wasn't looking for 4X4... Just Cab Extendahoe and 4in1
But it had 4x4... I'm lucky , Cause I've needed it more than I thought I would.

I thought yours looked about the same as mine.

Mine is a lot older 4x4 is nice but 2wd works just as good

I believe torque converter is much more essential than 4 wheel drive. My 580K is 4 wheel drive, only in very sloppy conditions does it get engaged. Walk up to a gravel bank with a clutch tractor, unless it belongs to someone else, and you don't care about the clutch, you dig two holes getting the bucket full. Next bucket, the bank moved a bit. Now you have to crawl up out of the holes to fill the bucket.

With torque converter you don't have to dig the holes at all.

Tire chains are my most important accessory, could not get through winter, or woods work without them.

Look for a very heavy object to easily scoop up in the back bucket. I have two boulders. One barely fits in the back bucket, If I could find a lead ball 20" in diameter I'd prefer it. I scoop up a monster boulder in the front bucket when digging with the backhoe. Extra weight improves the behavior noticeably.

tire chains work wonders I have a set for the winter months. I just plowed a 36 + inch snow storm not to long ago with no chains . I have a video on youtube
