We have changed the transmission filter and fluid, not only was the wrong filter on but the fluid looked to be wrong to , changed the fuel filter which had big chunks of rust and dirt laying on top of it ( never seen nothing like it before ) and changed the air filter. Took the backhoe out and worked it again , it had lots more power , pushed out a few stumps with out problems but its so dang muddy its hard to tell just how much power it has but it does show great improvement . :D
Now we are trying to get the boom to slide to the right and left but of course it won't so now I wonder what I'm doing wrong . Talk about a new owners ... :lol:
 

sounds like the former owner wasn't into maintenance !

It's amazing what just new fluids/filters will do for a machine. Sad how some folks don't do the basics, I hope it got you a good deal on the price!
