Re: ABANDONED IN THE WOODS
What a shame looks like it would make an ideal restoration project, somebody must own it?

No not a stupid question at all, looking at the photo there appears to be a tank on the back of the cab so that is a valid question does anybody know how you would operate the backhoe, looks kind of cramped at the back of the machine to me?

Re: ABANDONED IN THE WOODS
Looks like someone has tried to graft on a JCB backhoe onto the Massey, all the MF crawlers I worked on had M F's own backhoe which could be detached in 20 minutes, they were held onto the frame with two large claws and lock nuts which held it onto a lower support. The hydraulics had a quick release coupling. I think you would have to be legless to operate that machine On a normal 300 you were ok for leg room.Perhaps this was an abandoned conversion project ? Note the levers dumped ontop of the slew motor and the whole back hoe sitting rather too low on the machine.
