Picking up steel today ($300) should have some extra. In the picture (not to scale nor very good) the blue color is 2x4x1/4 box steel. My back wheels have been set out so there is room between tires and tractor. 2 pcs go to the FEL bracket with pins or bolts. Another going across and bolted to the drawbar bracket. The next pc back will be for attachment to the existing lower links (on the backhoe). On my backhoe, besides the 2 lower and top link, there are 2 upper attachments right above the lower ones. So the plan is, to have the subframe mounted, and then attach backhoe with these 4 pins.
The long main beams will sit right up under the rear axle (square axle at this point) and have a sorta U shape going over them made from the same box steel.
I will try and take pictures from start to finish.
