    709 to S185 mounting kit?

    I've got a line on a couple of Bobcat 709 backhoes for my 2008 S185. A friend is parts manager at the local Bobcat dealer. He says we're looking at over $700 for the mounting kit. Google search isn't finding me much without a part number. Anyone have a part number or a used set to sell?
