thats the one paul (nice bobcat btw).. got a great deal ..all the steel, and all laser cut (their 1000$ package plus all beam etc you have to buy seperate, and all bushings etc < 1500$) and all the hydraulics (1500$) and 9 hp briggs OHV (no idea what that is worth), hydro pump, tank etc. and i paid for all 1680$, guy lost interest, he at least started and welded up the bucket. i plan to just make the arm portion..and then make it quick attach to my crawler. will post pics as build progresses, tho dont plan to start it till july. scott here is the ebay link...tho closed auction so you may have to log on http://cgi.ebay.com/Ground-Hawg-Towable-Backhoe-plans-and-parts_W0QQitemZ290121512753QQihZ019QQcategoryZ29520QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
