Why is a John Deere backhoe called a backhoe?

A backhoe is an implement on a tractor, but when a contractor or heavy-equipment operator speaks of a backhoe, he’s usually talking about the whole tractor, not the digging implement.

How big of a bleeder do I need for my brake pedal?

Wait at least 10 seconds, then repeat the process until the brake pedal reacts firmly after the 10-second wait. The pedal should travel 4½ inches when pressed for the recommended amount of firmness. Connect 1/4-inch or 5/16-inch clear tubing with a bleed nipple to the bleeder screw on each side.

What’s the hydraulic output on a John Deere backhoe?

What should the pressure be on a backhoe hydraulic pump?

Some of the Deeres have a test port on the hydraulic pump to measure the charge pressure coming from the transmission. If not you can get the fittings to make it work. It’s in the couple hundred psi range. Ok, I plugged the output from the pump and got 1200-1300psi at 1000rpm.
