Backhoe 4672a on a B7610 help

[hdfattboy2001]

Hey guys, Just picked up a backhoe for our 7610, It was a demo, so it was all assembled buy it was previously on a 3400 larger machine.... We wrestled to get the unit on the tractor and I'm not sure we have all the top link and lower frame adjusted properly... Anyone have any pictures of their's setup,? The only way we could get the 3 point hitch arms to hook up, was to go OVER the lower main frame, reading the hookup information it says they go under it? I have to call the dealer tomorrow and get the paperwork on the unit because he forgot to give it to me....

Thanks for any help you can give.....


We did get the stronger top link bracket installed, and I have the frame support kit to strengthen the undercarraige...

I have a BH4690B on a B2910 ..... but I'm afraid I don't have any pics of it handy .....

It can be a bear to mount ...... if you will be storing it inside on a concrete floor, consider making a backhoe dolly for it at some point in the future ..... that will ease hooking it considerably ..... plus it will allow you to move it around if need be .....

On the mounting, one thing I can tell ya that I have found on my 4690B is that when I mount mine I will pull the two pins on the vertical lift arms/linkage for the tractor's 3PH lower arms ....

I have to call the dealer tomorrow and get the paperwork on the unit because he forgot to give it to me....

You should see if he will provide a little service after the sale so to speak - and send someone out and show you how to mount and remove it ..... :thumbsup:

Yeah - you absolutely want that stuff installed .....

Thanks for any help you can give.....

You betcha !

Here a scan of the 2 pages from my BH manual. Yours should be same as B2410. You should also make sure your tractor has a HD TOP LINK BRACKET.
Here is a thread on the subject. B27-2910 TOPLINK

Thanks guys,I got the manual from the dealer today and it cleared up a lot of my questions. I now have the heavy duty top link installed, the lower frame support kit, and the hoe.....Looking forward to starting my drain tile project with it, the little bit I played with it makes me feel like I will be happy with it.


Thanks again,

Brad
