Hey Leejohn!! This is exactly what I saw on my B7500; my rear universal on the shaft for the front drive is getting bad and saw that in order to get at it you need to remove the loader frame; on top of that, I have a Woods backhoe sub-frame that also attaches to the loader frame; so this hole...

Finally finished my loader mounted snowplow when I added power angle (i've been using last couple of years with manual angle); its an old 78" Meyer plow I bought locally off eBay for $50; I sandblasted and painted it a couple years ago; bolted a 3/8" steel plate to the back of the bucket and...

I'm considering a new Woods BH6000 for $3800 that I found. On a shipping pallet w/12" bucket. However, I need to get sub-frame and a Woods dealer quoted $1100. Are they really that much??? Makes the $3800 not such a bargain. Any comments???
