K650 backhoe on B7100

[Chrissy]

I am looking at a K650 backhoe for sale - I have been needing a backhoe for my B7100 gear drive. I have the subframe for the front loader but it sounds like there is some subframe support needed for a backhoe as well. Has anyone mounted one of these on a B7100 and if so, did you fabricate a brace? If there are any pics, it would sure help. Also if anyone happens to have the subframe for one of these tractors that I might be able to modify to support a small backhoe...

Thanks!

Not familiar with the K650, but maybe looking at the B670 mounting on a B7100 will give you some ideas. The B670 frame has a couple rails that attach to the B219 loader subframe with removable connectors. (green arrow) The frame has a 1" dia crossbar (light blue arrow) that sits in a pocket in a couple plates that are bolted to the differential housing. (dark blue arrow) That's it- only bolted with (2) 1/2" bolts at the front & sitting loosely in the pockets at the rear.
Hope this is of some use to you.
