Really hate to see this sort of stuff happen to such a nice tractor, but often times it's the result of abuse or operator error... ie bad judgement or just no common sense. Btw, this one is for sale for $5k on tractorhouse.

Drop a tree on it, lose the FEL while going down the road, or put a 3 ph backhoe on it?

Any more info?

Now that I look at it, it seems like the loader is crooked and that the hood is tilted back to far like it is cracked in half and sagging.

No, I have no info on what happened to it. It probably would be interesting to know the story behind it though There's a JD tractor (split in the middle) sitting on a big trailer parked in front of a house not too far from where I work at. If I wasn't to timid to stop and ask, I stop by and find out what happened and take a couple pic's of it.

That tractor was listed on Ebay recently, and yes, it is in fact cracked around the area of the transmission. I remember the listing stating what happened to it, but I don't recall the exact reason off the top of my head.

I read 3PH backhoes are not recommended and supported on John Deere tractors. Perhaps Beenthere was reflecting on his knowledge of what happens if you try to do it anyway.

Mine came from the dealer with a 3pt BH.

Actually, my post wasn't in reference to Beenthere's, didn't even see his.

Mine was made with sarcasm (hence the 4 sarcastic smileys) cause most folks believe tractors broken like this are caused by 3pt BH's.

But just like UFO's and bigfoot, there's no proof.

It looks like the thing is broke in half. Seems to be chains wrapped around something and what looks like a chain binder,then again maybe not.
