B2320 and BH65 installed correctly?

[jinjimbob]

Since I got the BH65 6 months ago I haven't removed it, until today that is. I was going to be put my rear blade on.

When I bought the back hoe, I specifically asked the dealer if its easy to put the 3 pt equipment back on there, he of course said of course.

Here are some photos I just took of the back of the B2320.

Do you think they installed the sub frame properly?

Should I have to remove the sub frame to install the 3 pt gear?

There are two holes in the sub frame, it almost looks like they should have replaced the very lower 3pt mounting point with a longer metal rod that extended through the frame?

I think they move the two small metal tubes from the outer to the inner, to replace the metal tubes connected to the harness. Is this what they did?

What are my options?

You loosen the center set bolt and tap it one way to allow you clearance, then repeat for the other side tapping it the other way.

I do this and put the tubes back in the original positions?

What he said !

Looks correctly to me. The holes are in the backhoe subframe to allow that pivot pin to slide through it enough to get the lower arm parts on the opposite side.

The A or B bolt? (in this pic)

The B bolt. It's really a set screw... there is a detent in that long pin.

I had to partially remove my subframe and one rear tire to put mine on. Granted, that's on B7800 w/BH 75. But subframe didn't allow pin to slide far enough left/right on order to slide check on.

Yep, loosen up stud and use a pinch bar to move to one side, then add link, move to other side, add other link...done

I have the exact same B2320 and BH65...same setup....you may have to use a long screwdriver in hole to wiggle pin as you go.....:thumbsup:

A is the jamb nut, B is the bolt that keeps the pin centered. Loosen A slightly, then loosen B enough to move the pin side to side. When the three point hitch is on and that pin is centered again, tighten B till its snug. Then tighten A last. A keeps B from vibrating loose when the tractor is being operated.
