Ford 1920 4x4 backhoe mounting brackets

Hi all,
I have a 1920 that I picked up an old Brantly backhoe for. I know that the 1920 used the 758 hoe but can't find anything that shows the mounting bracket set up for mounting it to the tractor. This hoe looks to have mounted to the three-point pins on the rearend and has two standup mounts at the front of the undercarriage part. Would scare me to only have the two pins holding up the whole backhoe, so looking for ideas and maybe pictures of the mounting of a 758 on a 1920. Thanks for any help, I need to take pics of what I have and will add them.
 
When the 758 backhoe was mounted to a 1920, it was usually with a loader, and there was a subframe that went from the front of the tractor to the rear on both sides. The subframe had mounting points for the uprights for the loader arms as well as the mounting points at the rear for the backhoe. Using a 3 point mounted backhoe on any tractor is asking for trouble unless you are very gentle in the use of the hoe, or use a very undersized backhoe for the size of the tractor. Here's a Link to the parts drawing for subframe assembly on messicks.com
 
I feel that way about three point hook up. I can see from the drawings that nothing really made it strong as it should be. Thank you for the drawings, I was in Messicks and found the hoe parts but not that drawing, going to do some welding and such before it goes on the tractor. Once again, thanks for your time.
