I have a L3130 with a LA513 loader. I'm putting a Woods BH80X-1 backhoe on it. The sunframe mounting kit is no longer available. Does anyone have a similar setup that you can share some photos of how/where the subframe ties into the loader frame/rear axle so I can fabricate a subframe?

If you haven't had any luck I suggest you check out Wallenstein Equipment which is based in Canada. They show a subframe for your L3130 as part #3630A450. It's a belly mount and may still need the use of your top link. They manufacture them specific for your model to fit backhoes they make. A little ingenuity can adapt their subframe to your backhoe. I am presently waiting on a quote for the subframe to my L2900 which I will adapt to accept my Woods 750. Have been running it for years on the 3pt system and don't wish to break the rear end housing. I have been searching for several years and stumbled on Wallenstein last month. Used subframes are unicorns as it seems. I would also recommend getting the HD 3pt hitch top link bracket from kubota. Mine came it this week.
I see you haven't gotten any response. Here's the diagram from Messicks parts. This is for the BH90 backhoe. Doesn't look too complicated - at least it's flat. Bolts to the loader frame in the front and goes around the axles with a strap over the opening. Can't tell exactly how it bolts to the rear frame.
Thanks!
I ended up fabricating the sub frame from stock material. I probably have 100 hours on it and it is holding up well.
