3-Point Hitch JD 770 3 Point Hitch

[RGQ]

Good Morning all,

A while back I purchased a used JD 770 tractor with a loader and backhoe. It has been a great tractor and I now want to expand my capabilities.

I am looking for all the linkages to make up a 3 pt hitch as the tractor did not come with these components. I've posted on TBN Want ads but have not received any repsonse so thoght I would try here.

Beyond parts from a 770, I am told that linkages from early 790 tractor (under serial number 894691 will also work and possibly those from a 3005.

If you have these components or know of someone that does that is willing to sell them send them my way. It sure would be appreciated.

Either post to this thread or call Bob @ 262-443-8220.

Thanks

Welcome to tbn RSQ. Different tractor places such as hoye tractor, TSC offer aftermarket 3pt parts, pieces. The 770 should be fairly easy to find such parts. Dont know about 790 3pt interchange but, JD and yanmar share different "blood" lines in that size of tractor. Hope this helps.

Yep, as Spruce said...maybe interchangeable with Yanmar's? May want to check with one of the importers...I bet they'd know....and I'd think they would have excess parts.

Also, there must be one of these models that has burned or been otherwise wrecked. Have you tried the tractor salvage places? Google Tractor Salvage....I think they run a locater service like the auto-parts guys....no? There is a big one out our way called worthington tractor salvage....I think they have several locations.

No I haven't tried salvage yards yet but will do so. I'd like to be tilling this spring and you have to be skilled to do that with a backhoe.

Thanks for the reply

Spruce Deere,

Thanks for your response. You have provided a couple more options

10-4 on the pins. I do believe they are in place. Nice photos. Thanks for the response.

Assuming this tractor originally had the three point hitch and someone just forgot to pass along the parts, you don't need much. Lower arms, side links and a top link. Top link can be generic but I'd want the real deal for the rest. Side links and lower arms come off for the backhoe in a single assembly (one per side). Included is the stabilizer turnbuckle. If you have the pins near the axles that they hook to, you'll be OK. Same with rockshaft arms, they should be on the tractor still.

If you don't have these things on the tractor, you'll have even more fun. Again, I would think these would be Deere items as they are specific to the machine.

I have an early 790 with a backhoe plus the three point. If you have any more questions, let us know. I can post some pics too if you need.

I do have pins both on the rockshaft arms and the lower mounting points. I realize it won't take too much to piece this together, but, buying individual components through parts can be costly. If I am able to find everything from someone that isn't usng them figured it was worth posting a thread.

Thanks for the input.
