I have a Ford New Holland 345C tractor and picked up a Ford New Holland 764 backhoe. The backhoe came with frame mounting brackets. I eventually got the brackets installed on my tractor. But the backhoe did not come with the hydraulic installation kit necessary for the backhoe operation. I tried hooking the backhoe onto the tractor and used the tractor's remote hydraulics. Well I never did get the backhoe seated into the brackets and it will not work off the tractors remotes as it keeps tripping the hydraulic remotes lever to off. According to the 764 backhoe manual the backhoe required an installation kit. I kind of figured out the basic installation without the original kit but never tried building a installation kit because the backhoe requires a Power Beyond hookup??!!
Does anyone know what this Power Beyond line actually does?? or even where the line would install on the tractor??
Better yet does anyone out there actually have a 764 backhoe installed onto a 345c tractor or know where I can get one of these 764 hydraulic installation kits??
My local Ford New Holland Dealer apparently has no idea what the Power Beyond line is or where it would hookup to on my tractor. I even showed them the original manuals which show the full installation of the backhoe onto the tractor but they say without the installation kit I basically have a large paperweight..
I have a pretty nice farm shop and am good at fabricating stuff if only I could see the original hydraulic installation kit and perhaps back engineer a similiar kit for my tractor.
Thanks for any help
