I really doubt it, unless you're really into DIY stuff and have welders, grinders, etc - I have about the same vintage Case as that came off of, maybe a bit newer - do you see those heavy steel bars and wierd looking turnbuckles in front of the hoe? Those are the subframe parts that attach to the lower rear frame on a Case.

Chances of any of this fitting a different make are slim to none - read on for more -

At the far end on one of those bars, you'll see a half-circle cutout - that part goes to the rear of the tractor, one bar on each side, and then the hoe has two clevis-like parts with a 1-1/2" pin between them, same for the other side, and those pins sit down into the two half-moon cutouts in the bars.

Then, the large "turnbuckle" looking parts connect similarly to the upper sections of the hoe, and you tighten them down to 250 foot pounds of torque, making sure that the INNER nuts on them are NOT touching the upper mounting arms (which I am NOT seeing in the pic) - once that's done, you then run the inner nuts up snug against the inside of the (not seeing) upper mount arm, then finish by tightening the OUTER nut (1-1/2" wrench, LONG cheater bar) to 450 foot pounds.

I'd go into hydraulic hookup, but as you can see it's probably NOT gonna work for you, unless you're at LEAST as stubborn as I am :rolleyes: and maybe even more. I doubt if I would try that combo no matter how desperate I was.

I'd keep looking for a ford hoe, much less frustration... Steve
