Backhoe 7 backhoe install on 790

790greene · Feb 16, 2012

I just purchased a used 7 backhoe for my 2007 j.d. 790. The backhoe came off of a 955 tractor i believe. Does anyone have any idea what i need to install it on my 790? my local dealers aren't very smart and cant seem to get me the right mounts. So far, i have installed the rear hangers and a power beyond kit for the hydraulics. It seems like the frame on the backhoe is too short for my tractor. Is there anyone that has pictures of their 7 backhoe install on a 790? Im not sure what frame should be on the hoe or what type of hangers go on the front of the tractor. I have a 300 loader on my tractor also, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help. I appreciate it.

Would i be better off to try and find a frame at the dealer or weld one up myself, and just use the factory rear hangers and make new hangers for the front? I wish there was a deere dealer in the area that actually knew what they were doing. I called one today and he told me i had to buy an entire kit just to get the frame for my tracotr. The kit includes the power beyond kit and hangers that i already have. The kit costs $1400 also. i hope i can figure out something soon. I really wanna play with my new toy.
