Buying Advice 2010 John Deere 2520 3 point hitch

[mtxstealth]

I just purchased a 72" mid mount mower for my 2520. It came with the mechanical lift to install it on the tractor. I purchased the tractor used off of a dealer a few months ago and it came with a loader and backhoe already installed. When I removed the backhoe so that I could install the mower on the tractor I realized it didn't have a 3 point hitch on it. Apparently you have to remove it to install the backhoe. The dealer doesn't have it and wants $2,000 for a new one. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can get one? I'm fine with paying for one but not crazy about having to spend as much as I did on the mower just for the 3 pieces of metal to install it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You can probably source most of these from aftermarket outfits; agrisupply, a&i , northern tool, etc. May have to do a little research on draft arm lengths, etc, those will probably be the hardest to find that are appropriate. Center link, lift links, sway chains, etc are usually available from many different ag supply outfits.
