46 backhoe subframe width?

lwalsh · Feb 22, 2011

I am going to mount my homemade backhoe that I had on my 2210 on my new 2720. I can copy the frame from the picture on the parts manual but I was wondering if someone who has one can tell me the frame width and how far the top of the channel is below the 3pt arm pins that hold it at the rear.

My 46 frame is about 17-1/2" outside dia. 14 1/2 inside

"how far the top of the channel is below the 3pt arm pins that hold it at the rear" About 1 1/8" from the bottom of the 3pt arm pin slot

You did a very nice job on your homemade BH.I have found that when you do a custom build there is no problem such as how do I mount the ie( brcacket ). I just look at a picture and run it through the Auto Cad between the ears and out comes the answer .
How many HP is the new tractor mount ie how does much does it weigh ?
I have in my head designs to take my JD 6.5' BH ( arps ) and mount it on a mini crawler frame .The biggest problem is enough spare time the work is the fun part.

2720wes, Thanks I really appreciate the info, It will help me get close to the factory subframe.

Thanks Kennyd and Craig and Craig your question is confusing me.

I was wondering what the weight and HP of the 2210 is as compared to the 2720 as to the weight to BH ratio.

lwalsh,
I believe 46 backhoe sub frames for the 2320, 2520 and 2720 are all different.
Backhoes are the same but not the sub frames. Just a little caution is all.
