After installing the two rear remotes on my TC40D I wanted to clean up the connection process for my older 758B Ford backhoe. Currently the hoses hook up as all the New Holland hoes do using the power beyond hose from the FEL joystick and the tank fitting for return on the right side axle area. Found this link posted by Severndh that details a neat little adapter plate that MadDogDriver posted back in 2007. The only reason I wanted to improve the current hookup is I didn't like how dirty the forward QD would get and I'm worried that I couldn't get it clean enough while laying on my back under the tractor during changeover. Had a little trouble tracking the part down but for those of you interested it is Woods p/n 1021867, comes as a kit with hoses, costs a pretty penny at about $300 and can be purchased from any Woods dealer. Best price I found was $295 plus shipping from Richmond New Holland (Phone 586-727-3515) ask for Jack in parts. When the backhoe is not on the tractor the adapter hoses must connect to one another to complete the circuit, very important. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/1122312-post5.html is the link to MadDogs post.
