I Need Backhoe I.D. Help! (

You will first need to compare specs of the tractor the hoe comes off of, and then the specs of your Kubota, before trying it out... specs I am talking about are flow rate (GPM) and relief pressure(PSI).  Then you want to make sure both operating systems are the same type.(open or closed center, are your options, here.  Sorry but I'm not much of an expert at IDing AC backhoes, at least not without a tractor attached to 'em...

Hey! Good news! A fella on this forum, posted his progress on restoring a D14 Backhoe/Loader

The backhoe is very similar to mine... I still cannot account for those darned swing cylinders on my unit, but everything else is the same. 

Here is the link, if it will give people any ideas, please give me a shout!

I'd bet that if it's off a D14 the D14 would have had the auxiliary hydraulic, low pressure high volume pump.

Thanks for your input! I'm keeping track of what you'all say... I'm actually taking notes! One never knows when one might need to remember good advice given!

Thanks much for our comments!

  Hey Peaceful,,,,,,Lordy,,Lordy,,,,Thas my backhoe/ Loader project you are referring  to,,,,Gosh,,that brings back lots of memories of all the work I done to bring it back to life,,, I only see two pics but sure looks like a Mark IV backhoe. The tag on mine is on the flat part right in front of the hydraulic selector valve. I cannot see the two cylinders you talkin bout on the swing. I can see the Rotary Swing Cylinder in the second pic, but not the 2 cylinders you talk bout. That "T" shaped pin on the outrigger sure looks like mine. The hoe looks to be fairly clean and I'll tell you that overhaulin thet big ole  Rotary Swing Cylinder is an absolute BEAR to get done,,,!!!,,,BUT it CAN get done,,,,,
 I don't have a clue what the loader weighs, so no help for you there,,,,Good luck with your project, tho,, if you decide it will work on your tractor,,,,,
  I'll be glad to help if I can,,,,,

Here are a couple of more photos describing my cylinder situation.

OH,,forgot to mention ,,Peaceful, a dang good friend of mine and all us others here lives in your neck of the woods,,,somewhere around Eureka Springs, Ark. Ole Thad posts here most of the times when he ain't workin his tail off,,,,,he's also a member in good standin of the " Misfits" Club,,,you'll hear bout all them dudes sooner or late,,,,
Wait til you get to know ole Shameless,,,,,, ,,,,and,,,,and,,,don't believe everything they tell you bout me either,,,,
OH,,,and welcome to the best'est site on the web,,,,,hope you stay around a while,,,

Desertjoe,

Yes I've been wondering about those chains and swing cylinders too! Both chains seem to anchor into the tower as if the original manufacturer intended it. But the place where the plate was cut to allow both those swing cylinders access to the tower, was not cut very smooth and round. So I suspect somebody got creative with their problem solving!

About your friend!
I'm about 1 hour and 20 minutes south of Eureaka Springs! We fish for trout occasionally up by the dam near Eureka. It's good to hear that I have potential kinfolk, (or good people whom I'd wish for kinfolk) whom are friends of you'all!

Actually I'm a Los Fresnos Texas farm kid, I was born in the Harlingen Texas hospital, I grew up watching brown and white skin walk on sidewalks together and think it's normal. Some of my earlietst memories is watching a John Deere pull the irrigation ditches I later would swim in.  I'm mostly white myself, but I'm 1 part Abenaki Indian, 1 part Iriquois Indian. I sympathise with the Mexican's wanting to come here, but as my Native American forefathers insisted (but lost the argument) , everybody needs to be legal and do their part.

And occasonally a T-Model Bugle needs to sound to get peoples attention... I don't know if the sound will do much good, or bring much order but I won't object either... I'm trying to learn to keep it peaceful...Not get distracted from what is really important.

For myself, if I could just get the weight rating on that A.C. backhoe... I've been thinking about buying a manuel, but to spend roughly 30 bucks to find out the unit is to heavy for my tractor would be a real bummer!

I'd like to find one that fits a 720.

I just purchased a Henry Mark 1, and I can confirm it looks the same as in pics.  Can anyone tell me what model OC-352 was used on?  I'm assuming Oliver Crawler from the OC but that is just a guess.  Very hard to locate info on these.. BTW, mine is for sale in Central NY.
