I know the original backhoe for this tractor was the John Deere 8A, which i was told may be out of production.

Does anyone here know of an aftermarket hoe that would work??

Im not sure where to look.

This person likes my tractor, but insists he wants a hoe for it....i told him id see if they still make ones for it.

Thank you in advance

Woods makes a subframe (pt#9402)for the 870/970/1070 to mount the
BH6500 and BH7500 hoes. Those old hoes are commonly available used,
and the current models (BH70-X/BH80-X) may fit that subframe.

That's just a quick check of the Woods catalog. You may also want
to check with Bradco, Rhino, BushHog, etc.
