Davis mfg. backhoe attachment

[wings5j]

Hi to ya'll, Recently I purchased an old backhoe attachment. It was built by Davis mfg. and at the time a sub-division of J.I. Case. This attachment was built for a Bobcat (not sure what series) as there is enough of the original hook-up placard to tell (reference to Bobcat, Bobtach, etc.). I have been searching the internet for info on it as it needs a lot of work. New attach arms, etc. It anyone has any pictures, manuals, history, or any other info on this unit, I would certainly appreciate hearing from you. My best guess is that this was built in the sixties, but I am not sure. Thanks, John

I just sold mine this summer. If I were to do the mounts over, I would use an adjustable linkage similar to the ones used on a 3 pt hitch. They way I did mine was solid and worked fine, but it was not as fast to attach and disconnect as I would have liked. If the attachment was set down on uneven ground it could be a pain to get connected again, this is where an adjustable linkage would help.

Thanks Jerry, That is great, sure looks like the one or very close. The manual will be invaluable I am sure. John
