    Ford 340A brake sticking

    Ford 340A brake sticking

    Finally got the brake pedals off. Seemed like it would be an easy job but tough sledding to get the first, right, pedal free.

    Ford 340A backhoe bolt

    I have an 83 Ford 340A industrial tractor with a backhoe. The hoe attaches to its frame with 3 bolts on either side - one on top and two below. The two below travel thru a plate and into the hoe frame. I'm assuming someone tried to take the backhoe off at one point because one of the two...
