Well, I got lucky and found an L4540 backhoe attachment, but it is missing the heavy duty rear attachment brackets. I have the shop manual and i'm pretty good at enlarging the perspective drawing to get a sense of the size but, I was wondering if anybody has one of these hoes mounted and if there is any way i could get a picture of what the brackets look like? I would even drive pretty far to measure the brackets. I know i'm asking a lot but not sure what else to do to accurately fabricate these brackets. Super rugged backhoe.

Yes. The larger brackets for the rear of the tractor. I have the fronts. I might be able to scale the drawing from the 5/8" bolt holes but im sure they won't be very accurate. Fortunately I have the wedge bolts. The rear ones are huge, like 3/4" bolts.
I'm mounting it on one of the 3 different models that this is designed for. Mine is an L4150. I have the front mounting brackets but the former owner of the backhoe let the rear brackets go with the tractor that it was on.
I have the mounts you need. I put that hoe on a L3750, the hoe came off a l4150. The rear brackets I needed were on the L3750 when I got it, was lucky.
Holy smokes! That's amazing. So you would be willing to sell Them, i imagine. Not sure how to proceed.
I forgot to mention that I did get the big wedge bolts, but that's it. Do we create a private chat? I'm pretty new to forums.
