Reply To: Backhoe Contribution – Blanchsb – Exterior Loader Arms and Interior Chair
So I think that I finally figured out what the RED Beam-like thingy is on the side of the Left Hydraulic for the loader arm.
I believe it is a safety brace for the arms to keep them elevated (RED items are typically used for safety LOTO, also known as Lock-Out-Tag-Out). It is typically stowed and not in use. The only thing I don’t get is how it braces the Hydraulics in this particular assembly haha. They would have to extend and then the brace locks the hydraulics in place so you can work on the loader arm assembly safely.
Safety brace on similar engine.
Any thoughts for the Pound?
