Figured I would add some content to my Backhoe bushing thread. Chris and I did a thing the other night, it did not end well. Tried to straighten the bent rod, got a bit greedy. Sounded like someone set off a shot gun next to my ear...
Holy shit. I bet that made a noise.
His cousin, who was upstairs in the house at least 75 feet away from where we were working, called immediately to ask if we were ok![]()
Sweet...what's that gonna cost?
How many ton press?
As of right now $500 for a used take off. Thought I lucked out and found the rod for $200 but they sold it already. If anyone has a source RE15639 is the part number. New is $1,300 !!!
What size rod is that? Chuck it up on lathe cut the end off thread new rod weld end back on. My hyd shop would weld a new rod on there for 4-500 bucks. You should be able to buy the chrome rod from baileys for 1-200 bucks.
2" looks to be about $200 for a 3' length. If my only option was a new one for $1,300 I would do it in a second. Called a few shops all seemed to be in the $500 rough quote range. I can get a take off unit for $500. Seems easier. After redoing all the bushings and what not, I really just want a rod to slam in the hole and call it good! Plus with shipping delays and being busy at work, buying an entire cyl assembly is just done and done. Unless I find just the rod used somewhere that is the game plan.
I have nothing to add but I'm glad you came over. This was one of the only threads I was missing

I'm glad too! Cool pic, you can see the where the heat treat stops.
Dan, what about putting a "continued on irate" post as the last update with a link to the new thread?I've been thinking of doing that with the threads I've started to drive visitation here.
I need to figure out what to do with my backhoe thread. Before all this happened I was going to update that and add a link to the bushing thread. In all the other forums I looked up tractor stuff on, pirate was the best for providing links and REAL info.
You need to move it here of course![]()
Nice!
I'm still waiting for the boat thread to make an appearance. I have one of those "free" boats and need some motivation to get my ass over to the shop to work on it.
Did I mention, I fucking hate boats!![]()
