@adrian2301 all right, here we go – I’ve got the “clamps” on the back of the slide frame, and adjusted the cylinders for the correct clearance:

Here is my updated file – but, I already submitted my previous file to Kent on Saturday, so these corrections probably won’t make it into the stream unless Kent grabs them at the last moment, ha!
@ketre you know what I bet would REALLY help you with that – and help a bunch of other people’s components too – is a decent top-down plan view of the whole backhoe, but for the life of me I just can’t find one – not even on that website with all the part diagrams. It’s super-frustrating!
