Backhoe 448 backhoe moved from 3000 to 4000 series?

I do have an OS 3320. The 448 BH that I have currently has part #LVB25614 on the attachment part. I also have the mounting plates LVB25568 for a 4x20 series. My conclusion is that LVB25614 is the attachment kit for the 4000 series. My dealer agrees with this.

I see the 448 BH in the ebay link above has been sold for in my opinion a low price.

The end of the tale: After months of seraching, I did purchase a used 448 backhoe. The equipment arrived and is in excellent condition. BUT, the backhoe and mounting plates did not fit my 3320 tractor. After weighing the options of having or not having a backhoe, I kept what I had knowing that several more dollars would be spent before the backhoe could be mounted. The extra expense is still thousands less than new.

"Compatible with" is not the same as "will fit your tractor." If anyone needs parts #LVB25614 and the mounting plates to attach a 448 backhoe to the JD 4000 series, let me know.

Do you still have the #LVB25614?
