New Woods BH90-X Backhoe

I decided to go ahead and buy the Woods BH90-X for the DK45s. In my earlier thread about considering a BH I forgot to mention that on top of using it for my projects, it will be used sporadically for maintaining the in-laws gas lines and gas wells, so I got some encouragement from the FIL for some side work. Here it is off the trailer.

Put the sub-frame on the tractor, not an easy feat for one man ...........
Next day got some help from my son and we put the frame on the backhoe and assembled the hoe (stabilizers, cylinder attachment and bucket). Here are some shots of the tractor sub-frame and the backhoe/frame attached.

1. Mid-mount bracket
2. Mid-mount with side bracket (the heavy sumbitches)
3. Lower cross brace
4. Vertical side brackets from under the tractor
5. Backhoe brackets attached to the vertical side bracket
6. Backhoe frame connected to the tractor sub-frame
7. Backhoe frame connected to the tractor sub-frame (opposite side)

Here's some pics after a 30 minute test run ........... all good! Plenty of power, no leaks and still secure. Didn't get much time on it, maybe today. Mrs. BD is getting a little jealous ...............

Good looking install. That would be a little tough to do by yourself.

BD, check this out- your house and my house have similar roofs and colors:
Now, all I need is to borrow your tractor for a while to make the match complete!

It was but I'm glad I did it, I know what I got! Every bolt never-seized and torqued to spec.
