What are these 4 bolt holes for on either side of the axle housing. B7100hst newer style. And what would be the thoughts on using those for a backhoe subframe support bracket? Thanks

Those were meant for optional attachments, I've only ever seen a light weight cultivator attached to those points.
No they are not strong points for mounting a BH mount.
The BH subframes for these models extends from the rear center Hitch mounts to the sides of the bellhousing and onward to the front frame.
Do you already have a loader with it's subframe and axle bars?
The number one issue that happens with these models is that they get broken in half from stress.

Yes I have a 1630 loader. The backhoe is a bush hog and has a subframe from an L series so it's wider than what the loader subframe is so I was exploring options for making it work.
