Mike,
I guess you don't have any documentation on this.
I have a Woods BH90-X and am not sure what differences there are with your NH BH, but I suspect they're similar. I've attached the Woods pages that discuss how my BH is mounted and removed, hope that gives you some help.

This is a somewhat simplified version of the pdf:
1. Position tractor on a hard, level surface and center the backhoe boom.
2. Lower stabilizers and take backhoe weight off tractor.
3. Lower boom and dipper to form a 90-degree angle and rest bucket on the ground.
4. Use the boom to relieve excess pressure on 1" bolts and remove bolts.
5. Tilt backhoe main frame to separate slots on the backhoe brackets from the tractor brackets.
6. Raise stabilizers until backhoe brackets slide out of hooks on the bottom of the tractor brackets.
7. Move tractor forward to clear backhoe brackets.
8. Lower backhoe until backhoe main frame is firmly on the ground. Retract boom and dipper and place bucket cutting edge flat on the ground.
NOTE: It may be necessary to place backhoe main frame on 6" blocks if backhoe hose lengths are not long enough to achieve proper clearance when separating backhoe from tractor.
9. Turn off engine, set brakes, and remove key.
10. Disconnect hydraulic hoses.
