46 BH Installation

Hypernix-

I'm 6'1" so maybe I'll have a sore head!? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh well, I guess I'll find out.

Thanks

Dutch-

Thanks for the info.
It sounds like maybe you dealers are earning your money.
I have a 2003 4110 with 410 loader. Should this be a problem?
I haven't talked to the dealer lately, but supposedly the hoe will be in May 1st. I guess I'll see how it goes.

Thanks- Jason

As long as you get the right subframe for your tractor,
and it is verified to fit your tractor,, with your loader,
which is probably the 410, you should be all set..

Success!!! How sweet it is!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I picked up my BH and subframe last evening. I spent about 3 hrs then, and 2 more tonight, and she looks like she'll dig!

I installed the power beyond last weekend- that was probably the hardest part (very tight space to work)

No instructions came with the subframe, and seeing as I had never even seen the BH prior, that was interesting! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Printed off a parts schematic from JDParts, and soon had her whipped.

The only hard part of the BH install was the weight (750lbs) My 2 brothers helped me slide the pallet off of the trailer.

I have some pictures- if there is interest I can post.

I would certainly recommend anyone who thinks they can to install the BH themselves- it was fun!

Now off to DIG!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Always interested in seeing pictures. Please post them if it's not too much trouble.

Here are some pictures...

The BH comes on two pallets.

The subframe...

And the BH...

To mount the subframe there are brackets that fit over the loader mounts...

And a beefed up support frame (where drawbar and 3point arms normally are)...

I am still about 2 months away from buying my backhoe. Those two pallets look like x-mas to me and the big green one even has giftwrap over the seat. Several posters have convinced me to try to do the installation myself. It will be like x-mas morning using tin snips to cut the banding on those pallets in a couple months.
