I just bought a backhoe that was attached to a Ford Jubilee farm tractor. I suspect it was somebody's homemade hookup - but don't know. I'm 1000 miles away from it and bought it via photographs and description by phone. An old man had it - and doesn't know much about it in regard to what make it is.
Anybody recognize it? I've got a 1963 Ford Industrial 4000 backhoe here and home and I know it's nothing like it.

I probably wouldn't have bought it with a broken cylinder - but . . . the guy is 77 years old, drove 200 miles to deliver it in the pouring rain, etc. Stuff happens.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
