I understand "it's more of a hobby for me to fabricate things like this", and you have my full support.

I am looking forward to reading/seeing all of your post throughout your build.

Look at AGCO's online parts book - that will give you an idea of what the backhoe subframe look like

AGCO online parts book is a pretty resourceful tool and I've used it for many things. However It doesn't have all of the pieces together (levers/subframe/wiring/etc...) so that you could see if there would be interference with parts on my tractor.. Just wasn't sure how much of a difference there was between a 2300 and 2310. Doesn't appear as though there's much difference underneath (except the obvious subframe)! Seeing the physical underside of the tractor is very helpful (shoutout to Irvingj!)..

Yer welcome -- holler if you need more pics. Looks like I'll be using the blower again this afternoon.....

The tractor sub frame and loader mounts are identical between tractors with and with out the factory back hoe option. The differences are lower 3 point arms, seat assy, ROPS, filter guard and hydraulic power beyond couplers/plumbing to the rear of the tractor.
