backhoe on an 806

[RustyR]

Recently puchased a Davis #27 backhoe (medium sized, not huge) to mount on my 806. The hoe looks like it mounted solid with four pins to the tractor it was ment for. The bottom holes line up and fit the lower 3 point arms pretty well. It came with a three point upper arm y link made of mower blades that I am not going to use. My question is looking for opinions on how to best attach the top holes. The 806 has three bolt mounting brackets bolted into the side of the rear case either side of the top link bracket that look like might be a good place. Also could use the top link mount with a single y shaped arm, or could also mount two arms outside of the top link mount with two arms. Might just be overthinking this...

Those three holes on each side were for brackets to lock a 2 pt hitch in a solid position. The solid position was needed for planters and other equipment that was rear heavy so the hitch would not rear up. The top pins of the hitch were also put in the lock position for mounted corn pickers so the rock shaft arms could be used to lift and lower the picker on the 234 model corn picker.

That would be a good place to mount the backhoe.

You might be able to find some of those brackets to make things easier.

I have the brackets on the tractor and always wondered what they were for. They look pretty stout to me and I think 4 bar mount is likely stronger than three. Thanks for responding!
