Thats the subframe i have which I will adapt to my Ford 1720. Great to see the pics of yours on how it is mounted to the hoe.

Most of these properties and still a lot of them currently, were used for grazing cattle, hay fields, etc..... They are excellent for this. I guess over the decades the cows hoofs have made a lot of these pastures a little rough. My problem is the tractor ruts. Before I came, and I mow with a...

Great info guys! I have yet to start the subframe yet as many other projects took precedence over this but I have used the hoe a few times connected with the 3pt. Works damn good but I can see why a subframe should really be the ONLY way these should be connected. When I start the project I am...

Nope I'm up about 1600 ft on a hill/mountains, it does it in wet and dry conditions. I have 2 1720's, both with fel's but 1 has a woods bh750-2 backhoe and 1 i use to switch out implements. The one with the backhoe has the taller 12.2 tires and the one without has the smaller 11.4 tires and both...

Great info here, thank you! Maybe a route i take in the future if I decide to start from scratch! I might actually consider it as I have some French drainage work to do around the property and also some other stuff to fix so it might make sense to fix the yard after I finish it all.

Yes this is most likely what I will do over time. For some reason my tractor leaves horrible ruts, even worse than my neighbors JD 310d which is probably double the size and weight. Might be the way the tires are on mine, thin and filled with ballast. Not sure but I try to keep my tractor use...

So I have about 11 acres of pretty descent grass but it was previous to 1970's was part of 100's of acres of cow pasture. I tell ya I mow it with a 4' Toro Zero Turn and I take quite a beating! Lol! To make it worse the northeastern PA soil is basically all rocks too. My question is how can I...

15 minute cities. Bad idea, in fact its a horrible thing (collectivist/commie thing). Soon these people who rent/buy these "luxury LOL" apartments won't need a car cause they have their big company food stores and bank in their complex...... no thanks...

Thanks, yes I bought seal kits for the Swing, Boom, Bucket, and both Stabilizer cylinders to re-seal them. The Dipperstick cylinder was re-built before I bought the machine. I hope the re-seal of the Boom cylinder stops the floating down of the backhoe when I leave the machine off overnight.

So I have this backhoe on the back of my '88 Ford 1720. When I'm finished using the machine and I park it after some time the Boom and the bucket both start to float and slowly fall to the ground. Ill park it and the after a few days it will basically be resting on the ground. Now I have...

Yeah none of those subframes are available from Messicks anymore, even from newer tractors also. I found 2 cheap frames online, close by my house, im going to grab them this weekend and make one from the 2. Best I can do!

Here's the Woods bh7500 subframe. Im debating in my head which frame to go with? The Woods bh7500 or the Ford 1920/1720 with 757c/758c?

This is the frame for the 757c for either the 1920 or the 1720 but I believe its 1996-2000's era. Ill see what else I need/want to spend money on after I get the subframe or what i don't feel like making myself.

Thank you for that i wasn't aware of those differences which I believe don't affect the actual size of the unit that the subframe connects to. Im probably going to just buy the frame for the 1920/757c as a base and fab up from there. They have available some different brackets if I need to...

Hello everyone, new to this forum! I have a 1988 Ford 1720 with 7108 FEL and a Woods bh750-2 mounted by the 3 link. I want to swap out the 3 link for a subframe as I really don't want to take any chances with anything cracking or breaking. Obviously all the bh750-2 stuff is far out of...
