Hello. I'm fairly new to owning/operating tractors. Anyways, As a fairly new homeowner as well, I felt the need for a backhoe. I found a 304 industrial with backhoe and loader for a good price near my home, and the owner is able to deliver it. I've got a few questions:
-As a bit of a newbie, I think I need to operators manual. There's a lot of levers and stuff going on. Where can I get this?
-The owner said that the injectors were leaking diesel and should be replaced before using. It started easily, but he shut it off immediately because he didn't want diesel in the oil. Are injectors difficult to replace?
-There are two hydraulic issues. The first and major issue is a hose needs replacing on the backhoe. It's a hose which goes through the outer boom, to the cylinder on the end which operates the bucket. I can change a hose, but how do you get to this one? Any tricks? The other leak is from the main joint where the backhoe attaches to the tractor and swivels. It's more of a steady trickle, and doesn't seem like a major concern.
Any other info on the age of this tractor, or things I should know, please reply with it. I'd like to learn.
