Jiohn Deere 1070
I just purchased a 8A backhoe to put on my 1070 I'm not sure what all is needed for mounting this hoe on my tractor. The man I bought it from said all the parts are there but I don't think so. I have an operators manual for the hoe it tells how to connect & disconnect from tractor but not what I need mounted to the tractor. All I found was one mention of looking at your mounting kit instructions but I can't find anything on this. Anyone know what all is needed & how to mount to tractor. The tractor is a 4WD with an 80 loader all ready mounted.

Welcome to TBN:laughing:

You should probably register (for free) at www.jdparts.com and learn to use it, it will show all the mounting hardware and give you an idea of where it goes. A dealer may be able to find you the mounting instructions as well.

I have attached a zip file with backhoe mounting instructions. I hope it helps! Sorry, the zip file not working. The pdf file is too large to post. Send me your email address and I can send it. The file is 2.35 mb.

I tried this last night but I'm new at this, my e-mail address is larry.loewen@verizon.net if you could send me a pdf on mounting the 8A backhoe. Thanks, Larry

Here's a few pics that might give you a better idea of the mounting setup.

AKfish, what is the cutting on that blade? Never seen anything like it...

It's a piece of "ice blade" from a DOT road grader. Up here, the snow and ice tends to build up and pack onto the surface of the highway forming a slippery hardpan.

DOT uses (a whole bunch during the course of the winter) those "tooth" cutting ice/snow blades on road graders and snow plows which creates a grooved surface on the road and helps to maintain (and improve) traction for cars/trucks.

They had a worn down chunk in their "bone yard" to be recycled; and they just gave it to me. :thumbsup: Little bit of work with a cutting torch and some spray paint...

AKFish did you make your mechanical thumb or did you purchase it from some place?
