BT1000 Backhoe

[Charl723]

So I posted a week ago looking to find a BT1000 backhoe. I’ve found one. Issue is it’s on an L39. I have a L45. I assumed BT1000 would be an exact fit from an L39 to a L45. Am I correct or wrong? I have the gentleman measuring the spacing between the upper pins, lower nubs, and height between pins and nubs. Can anyone confirm it’s the exact same backhoe? Thanks for any help.

From memory there have been cautions on this forum about certain tractors not tolerating a 3 pt hitch BH. Owners end up with a cracked rear housing. This may not apply to your model!!!
I suggest you read thru this thread and even contact rbargeron who is both engineering educated and knowledgeable about tractors about when a rear sub frame is recommended.

I believe the OP has a tractor from Kubota's commercial line that doesn't utilize a 3 pt hitch backhoe.
I would think that a Kubota dealer should be able to answer his question.
Looking at Tractor data, I think a L39 uses a BT1000 and a L45 uses a BT1000a.
My L47 has a BT1000b backhoe.

Maybe you can find out what, if any, changes exist between a BT1000 and a BT1000a.

The B1000 backhoe is the FACTORY MATCH for the L39, and is absolutely NOT a 3pt backhoe!
The B1000 is for subframe mounting ONLY, and is the factory BH for both the l39 and L45.

I think you missed a zero there.....
Your L47 should have a BT1000b backhoe.
