Thanks Ken I will keep you in mind . I have enough metal gathered up to build a simple backhoe that you use the loader hydraulics to move and use your auxiliary control to move the bucket . but I still need to find a cylinder . This may do all I want to do . What do you think? I don't know about...

Thanks guys he hasn't e-mailed me back yet to find out what motors they are but i'll pass along the info. DANNP

I met a guy online who I suggested to join this site , but he is looking for motors or rebuid kits for his drive motors on his thomas skid steer any one know where he can look. Dannp

I think your bucket is one of the best I have seen and looks very able ,but i would fall into the category of use very little and although it looks worth the price is more than I am willing/able to spend also i live in Canada and shipping would not be cheap ,besides duty etc. I was looking for...

Yes sliding the forks together would work but the homemade forks that came with my skidsteer do not move they are welded in place . Return To Gallery (Copyright 2002-2009) Owens Consulting

I am not really thrilled by the weld job done . But if the price was right and a proper job done I'd take it . Being an autobody technician for 15yrs now I have sectioned many frame rails , roofs , quarter panels etc. and like anything there is a proper way to section something in and that isn't...

I agree about the visual problem but they make it so you put it on forks you have slid together and this is the way they put it on a bucket with an attachment that mimics forks on the bucket. I would like to make something simple to dig with until I can build a backhoe any ideas. DANNP

I will e-mail it to you . As far as thomas should be concerned they will not acknowledge my e-mails about my skidsteer as to parts inquires or manuals because they where taken over by a new company and seem to only want to acknowledge the new machines but I understand your concern I will leave...

Hi guys I finally found a user manual for the thomas skidsteer models 700-1200-1700-2250 series . I was going to upload it onto the skidsteer forum but it told me because it was a pdf file , I needed administrator permission . Is there another way to upload it ? or how do I go about uploading it...

Has anyone used one of these before ? How well do they work ? Has anyone seen a similar product or has anyone made something similar ?

Yes maybe hang them vertically from the eye holes never thought of that , I originally wanted to hinge it on the eye holes behind the door , but it is too long.

Thank for the info mine has two square pins in the bottom on either side and a 45 degree plate at the top it is well worn if this is not the standard model how does it work ?

Mine has a quick attach but you said standardized are there different quick attaches?
