JAKES, love those tires on your Cat.
They are great on the gravel roads. The brand is IRT.JAKES, love those tires on your Cat.
It is a 420E it with a Wain-Roy swing coupler also a Central Forge thumb.Jakes is it 428F, or what. I guess a Cat has most beautiful boom
I must correct myself: the tires are BKT brand and are 12 ply.yes Willie it seems like you have more contact to the ground. Also this hoe came from your neck of the woods it was from the hwy dept. of Springfield,Vt.I'm particularly interested in those tires. Last round of buying backhoe tires I looked into them, they were hundreds more than conventional R4 tread. They look to me like they wouldn't sink as deep into a lawn, and with tire chains they'd put more chain onto the ground.
Well due to Covid-19 that ain't happening now. Some nay sayer, Covid-19 denier, conspiracy theorist has Covid-19 with his wife and they are in their 70's. Thankfully I called before showing, one is doing fine the other one might kick the bucket. Such as it is moving on with mine and scratching it off my list.My hoe has mouth full of scrap steel waiting to dump it soon as I go get a manure spreader someone is tossing to put it in.
How are we gonna copy them without pics? CMON MAN show us the stuff!Mine are simple. Anybody with a simple welder could copy. They are built of rectangular tubing with a bit of reinforcing added at the base of each L shaped member. At top is a piece of DOM tubing. Passing through is a rod.
Three hooks are welded at top of bucket to grab the rod.
I grab the forks without moving from the driver's seat.
I did once borrow a set of the clamp to bucket lip style. I couldn't keep them pointed forward.
