Guys, I need help identifying this backhoe for someone. This is the only picture we have. It's a big machine and you can make out someone standing beside it. Looks like an International hoe and the loader linkage looks IH too? I though about Dynahoe also? Phil
That boom design looks like a JCB to me, i am doing more research.
I know one fellow who has an international about that size, 7xx?. It seems like it looks like it. My wife's cousin has a big dynahoe. I will try to get pics of both for you this week as I travel around, one is 35 miles west, and the other is 40 miles NE of me. The more I think about it, I think the fender looks like the IH. I'll look.
** looks to be an early massey ferguson 50 to me
im going to say a massey 60, just cause i couldn't find any 50's with the linkage at the loader midpoint. ford's 7500 was in the runnings but the boom cylinder is different on a 7500's hoe
Does kind of look like a Massey-Ferguson, but kinda looks like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B001KXH0A4/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=284507&s=kitchen
Yes kind of looks like a Long 5N1, had one once . Heluva a machine had the hydraulics of an excavator. It had a hyd. pump the size of a 5 gallon pail on it. jr
that looks like the one i just got, 1978 MF70 .I just replaced gear ring and now having transmission problems,i seed pic of mine arnold
i can send more
I thought that was the same machine until i looked at who posted it. This site is great, i spend about 45mins on google images looking at pages of "backhoes" and could not find a match. found this pic that shows a similar one but this one looks smaller than the one in your photo
Yep, I think arnold nailed it; MF70. same fender and steps, same loader linkage, compare the height of the man in one pic, and the 3/4 ton ford in the other.
Wow, I'm impressed. MF70 it is. Thanks Arnold, for the picture. The owner would like to know it's value, assuming it's in good running condition. I'm guessing $6-7.5K, any ideas. Phil
Phil.that would fair price if good running condition,and no hyd leaks.The MF70 has 18foot reach and lots power,the only thing it is a bit heavy 18,900 lbs arnold
