JD 870/970 390 front blade question

[yandeereguy]

Does the 390 front blade, were a loader mount would normally attach, does this 390 mount have holes in it for a backhoe subframe??
The two holes that hang lower if you had a loader..

I have no loader and looking at a 390 online, my setup will be an odd one with a 390 front blade and 8b backhoe..

Here is a shot of the 390 mounting frame. Shows 4 brackets. Appears the rear ones would bolt on where the FEL loader stub brackets are bolted on.
Or does your 8b hoe already use those FEL loader stub brackets?

Yes, I hung my 8b backhoe with the 390 blade on my 1070. I modified the rear 390 mounts to accomodate a 440 loader by welding on square tubes and alignment ears. I have all sorts of attachements for my 1070 and have run many combos. I plowed all winter with the 390 on front and 8b on back, except changed to 440 loader 3x to forklift some logs.
