There was a 3 point for this machine. You will need the subframe to hook one up to the tractor. Should be easy to come across the sub frame but the 3 piont will be a little pricey. The factory 3 point is a nice unit with a cylinder on one of the lift arms and in place of third link and it will also have 2 extra spools for attachments. As far as the pto it was available also. It is a unit that replaces the rear cover. But the tractor has to have the right clutch and mainshaft in the transaxle to be able to install the power shaft that runs the pto.

It might be easier to find a rear with the three point already on it. See your backhoe doesn't have the rockshafts, or the controlls, or the arms, or the attaching points for all this. I'll bet that a case 530 or 630 rear will bolt right up.

To add the top of the tranny that you will need for a three point you will need a different seat, tranny top, floor plate, and will have to add controlls to the right side.

That is a nicely done up tractor - can Preston's help point you in the right direction on a rear end or the parts? They probably sold that tractor originally, but such a setup would be rare, as most came with the hoe attachments.

Those H-chains are the ticket - Lot's of snow this year, eh?

well i got the tractor for the pipeline they made it into a sideboom it was really the set up they had on it.i restored it the tractor took the side boom and weights winches off, split it in two put a new clutch in it, put it all back together ran it for 4 hours and the motor blew in it so the motor is new to. the loader came from prestons and a front bucket. i made my own plow. the H-chains help alot i need the traction.

theses are old pics of the rear i put two counter weights on the rear and a winch in the middle that came off the side from the side boom for weight.

Sideboom - that would be an interesting looking machine to start to renovate. I guess the winches were hydraulic? If so, you may have an hydraulic pump capable of powering a hydraulic blower on the front - you could use the loader to lift it.
