Discussion Forum Topic: #7 and #8 backhoe information [Return to Forum] Author [expand] [Modern View] John 12-05-2002 11:08:54 64.102.254.33 5771 Report to Moderator Hi, I have a JD955 which requires a #7 backhoe attachment. I was given a #8 backhoe attachment. I need to find out if I can modify a #8 to fit my JD955. Has anyone ever done this ? I would also like to find out how the #7 mounts - does anyone have a manual that they can fax a coyuple of pages ? I called my local JD dealer and they faxed me parts descriptions for both units and they look very similar. Does anyone know if I can just buy a #7 mounting frame and fit it on my #8 backhoe ? Any/all comments and suggestions are welcome.

I figure the front of the tractor will be pretty light when moving and the whole machine will get pulled around quite a bit when digging. The subframe question is best answered by a dealer. In short, It might fit, but not work very well. BTW, there are several #7 hoes on tractorbynet classifieds.

Is the brochure you refer to on the #8 backhoe ? Is this something you could fax to me ? Also thanks for the refernec to tractorbynet. I took a look but only saw one for sale. Getting a #7 is certainly a cleaner option.

There was only a brief blurb on the backhoes. I just looked at the specs on the different machines. Note: the 47 is just a newer version of the #7 backhoe. The 48 backhoe is the newer version of the #8 and #8A Follow Ups:   [Reply]  [No Email] [Options]  [Printer Friendly]  [Return to Forum]   [Add a Reply] Hop to: Another Forum Tractor Talk Tool Talk Restoration Tips Paint & Bodywork Implement Alley Tractor Transporting Allis Chalmers Case Combines Crawlers Farmall & IH Ford Ford 9N,2N & 8N Fordson John Deere MH & MF Harry Ferguson Minneapolis Moline Oliver & Cockshutt Garden Tractors Orphans Stationary Engines Today's Tractors Memorabilia Tractor Tales Using Your Tractor Tractor Pulling Site Comments Test Forum Buyer Seller Feedback Kountry Life Classic Trucks
