Look what I picked up yesterday

Image
Image

It has Live PTO and a front mounted tank and pump for the backhoe
Image
Image

Front blade is operated with the rear hydraulics through some wire rope and pulleys

Image

Some pics of the 'hoe
Image
Image

Belt pulley have been removed, and a pto-shaft have been mounted. I dont know what it have been used for
Image

Operators seat is turned around, and we start to dig

I allready have a Fiat 513r with a big backhoe on it, so I will convert this one back to a normal tractor. Since it has Live PTO I will replace my MF35 with this one for clearing snow. I already have a loader-frame and loader ready for it.

Frode,

Your Blade set up is the same as was used on the E27N's in Australia, which were manufactured by Cullen Bros. and called a 'Culbro'. However, I think they were made under licence to the Bray Company in the UK.

Great Find plus Great Photos.
Would you be able to post some photos of how the backhoe is attached to the tractor? Thank You.
