Backhoe Project 22

[buildthings79]

Hey how did you curve the bottom plate for the bucket. I was going to build a jig with some heavy wall pipe and a small hydraulic ram to bend it around.Yeah I know that seems like alot of work but Im building a few of these to sell too. I have a small fabriction shop I just opened.

look for my videos that say " rolling bucket " on them . i just tacked sides to table , and used rosebud. rolled bottom with just one arm . easy

jig and ram might be slick if you got a bunch to do of though.

they wanted 140 to roll it professionally , but i know from experience that price goes down when you buy more than one. its not worth it for them to set up big machine for one piece.

Im building the same thing right now. I dont know if its the same company from which u got your plans but its very much the same in process. Im still waiting on my hydraulics too and surplus center just told me my pumps and mounts where back ordered also.

cool , another backhoe builder. make sure you make some videos , or pics at least .

its been a real fun project , good luck . keep me informed of your progress. i use a little " flip camera " its called .

its only $120 . super easy to use and put on computer.
