Distinctive for its storage tip, Mark shows how he built stacked wood blocks to keep the backhoe level so remounting is easier, then walks through hydraulic hose connection sequence, subframe alignment, pin placement, and hydraulic lever settings. Most useful for RK37 owners tackling their first solo reinstall.

Mark made two stacked blocks screwed together to support the frame so it sits flush on the floor instead of collapsing and sticking up in the air.
Back the tractor up close enough to the backhoe attachment to connect the hydraulic hoses, which lets you maneuver the backhoe so the subframe comes up under the tractor.
The backhoe slides into a rear bracket with two vertical pin holes, while the front of the subframe slides into a mid-mount bracket under the tractor.
Turn the hydraulic lowering speed control knob all the way down, then move the auxiliary hydraulic lever to enable hydraulics for the backhoe connection.
