Buying Advice JD 48 Back Hoe

[Willie71]

I have found a used JD 48 back hoe - any ideas on price - things I should consider for mounting it to a 4120 - I know I will have to add the power beyond kit- if I install it myself what cost am I looking at for the parts? are there any special mounting plates/subframes... that I will need - I am not sure what tractor the back hoe was mounted to so this may be included or it may not work with my tractor. As always thanks for the input.

UPDATE: Phone call to local JD dealer this AM said only 485 is compatible with my tractor - obviously this is the current model and available at the dealer - if you go to the JD website and custom build a 4120 the 48 backhoe is listed as an option - but if you look at the attachments compatibility page associated with the 4120 it does not list the 48 backhoe but 485 - I am thinking this may be because the 48 is not the current model available for sale.

Need some help

The JD online parts catalog for the 48 backhoe lists two different backhoe mounting side plate kits for the 4x20 series - BM20583 and LVB25568. Your dealer should be able to look these up and tell you which is right for your tractor. I think these are whole goods numbers, so you will probably need to find a salesman who will work with you, or maybe parts can even find the information.
