The "brand new" backhoe already paid in saved time and labor

Sorry no photos. I was in the street and didn't want to stop and get the camera. The 67 has be languishing back in the dark depths of the carport. I have a DIY frame that bolts to the bumper mounts, this allows me to lift the front (no engine) and move it. I had been using the front loader arms of the Farmall but that is a BIG PITA.

I have to empty the carport next few weeks as the city "sorta" put in a new water main and a new service will have to be run to the house. ONLY place to do this is through the carport. Hope they have a walk behind trencher!!

Anyhow I dumped the bucket off the "brand new" backhoe............

Someone familiar with tractor 3 point "in general?"

Backed the tractor part way under the carport, snaked a small chain through the bucket pin hole on the "dipper arm," and lifted 'er up and dragged er out

THEN I pulled in behind the trailer, angled the tractor sharply and pulled up beside it on the rear quarter. Then by rotating the hoe and extending the sticks, I was able to manipulate the 67 right up to the ramps!!! Hook up the trailer "wench" and off we go!!!

I CAN SEE that this little device, other than "replacing" the rear tractor ballast/ weights, is going to be VERY useful

I drop the plow off my chevy and use a chain, it has picked up a few back ends of vehicles..

Later today I cleaned the rest out of the carport, and actually "test drove" the Farmall under there clear out the back beside the house. "We may need it" before the new water line goes in!!--the bucket, that is!!

Cost me EIGHT BUCKS for a grade 5 1" X 6" bolt and nut up and "North 40" so I can build a lift fixture with the bucket off. This will be for outboards and such
