    Pictures of your Backhoe!!!!!

    Miss Dinah Shes a mid 80's Dynahoe 490. 4-53 Detroit, 4in1 bucket, a 18" hoe and a 36" hoe. She's a 'working girl' so we call her "Dinah da ho'". Recently did an in-frame overhaul. Now the old Detroit 'screams'. http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/11441372/aview/groundbreakc.JPG
