I have recently aquired a 69' Ford 4500 backhoe.
The bucket will lift upwards (forward) and down to about 90 degrees, no problem. any further back and it just stops.
The swing arm hydros (2 using a swing chain) moves good, but will only travel from about 10-2 o'clock. It can be moved the rest of the way by hand.
In both cases, there is no strain on the hydro pump. Things just stop.
The rest of the backhoe hyraulics, seem to work pretty well.
Any help appreciated.
