I am considering buying this backhoe. Price is right at 2k but I'm more interested in the loader then the hoe. Looking at pictures it seems it has a 730 loader. I'm dealing with an elderly gentleman over the phone he is 4 hours away so model and serial numbers will be tough to get. The info he gives me is its an early 60's ford 4000, you can see industrial on the hood, he also said its a 4 cylinder diesel with a broke connecting rod. My tractor is a ford 4000 3 cylinder with the straight front axle lights inside the grill on bottom. My question is this, will the 730 loader fit my 4000 3 cylinder? I know I will have to modify the frame of the loader some. Basically turning it into a 735, taking the attachment points on the front off(730) and moving them to the top of the front axle(like a735) in the mounting block. Are there any differences besides where the pump mounts on a 730& 735, like width or length of the loader attachment points on the front or at the back axle. I don't want to drive 8 hrs round trip to not buy this thing. Thanks. By the way it is amazing how much info you can get from this forum.
