[QUOTE="Land-Tech, post: 23261, member: 1679"] Thanks , the 331 put this thing out of business.Then I used the rams to make a lift gate for my dump truck, but that another story The original backhoe's mast only rotated about 75 degrees so I took the bearing and axle pack off the JD and bolted it onto the plate in the frame and welded the backhoe frame to the axle flange. Before I had done that I welded the drive sprocket to the bottom of the wheel flange and mounted a drive motor on the backboard with a idler gear to to keep the chain tight. Very low tech and very dangerous but it allowed me to dump material along side the skid.I never trusted the welds on the axle flange so I made a removable link to the backboard to get the rigidity for hard digging. I originally had the backboard attached to the skid frame so there was no stress on the tilt rams but unhooked that most of the time so I could lift the attachment when Iclimbed banks. The 940 with OTT's would climb around pretty good I changed the dipper cylinder with lift ram on the JD. With the longer stroke I was able to increase the rotation of the bucket I had a 30” plate that attached to the bucket for grading that worked real well. It worked best for me as something to break up the hard ground or shallow trenching. The controls were a cheap so you had to apply a little cordination to use. The teeth worked great for breaking up glacierated ice in the winter. Here are a few more pics.
