Within the past week I acquired a nice (only 345 hours) '04 790 with a belly mower and front loader. This is replacing my '63 JD3010 with a 7' wide rear mount McKee Snowblower......I live in Minnesota where the snow can be an issue so I started down the path purchasing all the attaching hardware required to connect to the 790 for my eventual purchase of a used JD59. Three days ago I located and purchased BM21379 - Front Drive Kit and BM21660 PTO Driveshaft Kit then things came to a screeching halt. I also need the elusive BM16855 Front Hitch Kit applicable to the 670, 770 and 790 CUTs. Although the last production year of the 790 was I believe 2005, for some reason JD has stopped making the BM21660 leaving people like me scrambling. I cannot find a BM16855 out there at all and the illustrated parts breakdown for that Kit is not to be found on the JD Parts Site. Perhaps if I had that listing I could try to purchase the parts making up the kit, expensive but I have no other options at this point? Perhaps someone could shed some light on this perceived problem I am having, any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated. THANK YOU !
