Hey guys, new member here. Got some questions about this old backhoe I drug out of a farm field.
I assumed this was a construction king, because it has 430 decals on both the loader arms and backhoe boom. But its actually attachments, a model 22 backhoe and model 22 loader.
It appears to be all original, even many of the hoses are original and painted. But the loader and backhoe seem a lighter color yellow than the hood?
I have many many questions about it, if anyone has knowledge about it. But my first big question is why it says 430 all over it, when its clearly not a construction king.
Can a guy find dual range hood decals?
Are any of the original hydraulic cylinder seals or plastic wear sleeves to be found anywhere?
Im going to have to pull the motor at some point. Needs a pilot bushing and rear seal, and smokes/needs some work. But the front hydro pump will not slide off the shaft. Ive pried it forward as hard as I dare after heating sleeve red hot. If i cut the shaft or sleeve, can i find replacements?
Ill think of more questions, lol
