M6060/M7060 w/backhoe

[simmonslr]

Anyone here own an M6060/M7060 with backhoe. I have access to a backhoe subframe for an M5660 and was wondering if I might be able to adapt it to an M6060 or M7060. Not finding much online or Kubota Parts. Maybe some photos would help me figure out if it's possible. Thanks.

There are two BH M4011 older and M4509 newer BH and frames for that series and Messicks has a good parts list Kubota M4509&M4509V BACKHOE (M4509(V) Backhoe) Parts Diagrams

have you consulted your service dealer on that? or AI? regards

Yes, thanks, been all through Messick's parts diagrams and Kubota's own online parts. No info/diagrams on subframes (except the M5-111).

Just for info, subframe numbers are:

M5660 - M4505
M6060 - M4021 (open), M4022 (cab)
M7060 - same as M6060

Hoping someone actually had one.

Yep. Working with one now (and AI was my first stop). He's as much in the dark as I am. Thanks for the idea though.

Even an owner or installation manual might be helpful, but don't find those either.

well keep us informed. you might call K central on that, they should know, good luck
also, if you have a good dealer parts guy he should know about parts interchangeability if he's good. regards

AI: Directly adapting an M5660 subframe backhoe to an M6060 or M7060 is highly unlikely due to specific frame designs

M5660SU is closer to an M7040SU than an M7060, rear ends are different. I'd think it would be a lot of work to make it fit.

As with anything, with a welder and fab skills anything can fit.
