Gewpe, thanks for the pic .thats exactly what im looking for,do you have a part number for that setup ? I would guess the bolts come with it as the stock ones would probably be too short after the brackets were installed. My local JD dealer seemed unsure of himself ( at least it seemed that way to me ) as to what i would be getting and gave me a crazy price of like 1700 bucks!! So im not to sure what he was looking up. If you havent installed the bracket setup would you like to sell it or maybe make up a template that I could buy from you? Thanks,J.

I think this subrame is what you are referring to. It is an optional part to strengthen the tractor frame.

Very interesting, 110! This is the first I have heard of such a product. My
JD dealer had no idea about it and the part # LVU17203 comes up as invalid
on JDPARTS.com.

Where did you find out about it? It clearly does not even touch the hoe
brackets. I think it is necessary, give the broken tractors out there.

I do not own those brackets to mount the JD hoe. Pix are from a pair sitting
outside at the dealer, as well as other posts on the web. I think the
small subframe brackets that mount to four axle housing bolts on each side
are a bad design, which requires some additional anti-bending reinforcement
to the tractor. When I get ready to make my hoe subframe, it will be a
4-point mount that uses beams that go under the tractor all the way up
to where the FEL mounts. This subframe will be welded to the bottom
brackets of the ROPS, and to additional braces above the rear axle.
