Woods subframe and fabrication?

[trapperjohns]

I have a B7800 and am looking at Woods backhoes. Woods B7500 or BH70X. Have seen the BH70X hooked up to a somewhat comparable tractor via subframe, but was wondering if anyone out there has tackled fabricating their own subframe for this scenario? And if so, how easy or hard it might have been? And was it worth it?

I bought a well used backhoe attachment with a partial subframe for some unknown tractor on it. Woods website has installation instructions for lots of different models and I was lucky to find a set for subframe install on my model tractor. I then built the tractor side brackets and the subframe to fit between my tractor and backhoe that look and attach similarly to what Woods was doing. Works very well for my needs. Off and on in minutes with 5 pins and my 3 point arms stay intact.
