the owner is not sure, said it came off a 350b. the slot mount leads me to think it will mount up to my 440 given the proper bracket (which i don't have).

This hoe looks alot like my model #9300 which is mounted on a 350B crawler loader. Beware of that rotary boom swing cylinder, they can be a real hemorrhoid.

Beware of that rotary boom swing cylinder, they can be a real hemorrhoid.

Is that a problem for all backhoes with a rotary swing motor or unique to certain years/models?

I'm considering getting this unit because a) its local (less than 100 miles away) b) the northwet is a good spot to find old ford and new deere stuff and not much else c) from searching the archives here many are looking, few are selling.

Of course I'll still have to get the brackets, add a selector valve, fix all that other stuff, buy some pads, paint, etc...

First it was old woodworking tools, then it was old metal working tools...

this was just one of my little projects: http://tinyurl.com/93oap

Somebody stop me before I do it again!
