I'm working on a Cat 416 backhoe and i have to do the brakes. Does anyone know a good place for aftermarket backhoe parts? I did the brakes on this thing a couple of years ago and the parts from catterpillar were really expensive. BTW the brakes are the wet type and inside the rear axle. The axle is made by Ford so I figure there must be an alternative to puchasing from the stealership!

I hate to sound stupid My man, but I have bought everything in my printing & sign shop off of Ebay with no regrets. Hey man you never know. let me know how it turns out.

Never thought of Ebay I'll give it a try.

Why does it need brakes again after only two years?

That would be my question; my 25 year old sweet alice has 5000 hours on the original wet brakes, just put brakes on our 46 yo oliver backhoe five years ago.

Glad you asked that. I'll post some pics of the brake parts and maybe you can give me some advice. The brakes on this thing wouldnt do anything (had to drop the bucket to get it to stop. Didnt seem to be anymore adjustment left in the system. This thing gets used in a commercial application and quiet often gets driven with the park brake on.

Huh?
