70 loader question for 790

FLboy · Jun 28, 2017

Hi,
I want to purchase a 790 and put a 70 loader/7 backhoe on it, however the 790 doesn't have the mounting brackets on them. It has the hydraulic connections on the left side. I have been banging my head trying to find any information on these brackets but there part number seems to be a mystery. Does anybody know where I can find these brackets that attach to the tractor? I have also been told that the 70 wont mount to a 790 but i see a million pictures of 790's with 70 loaders on them in google images. Attached are some pictures for clarification. First pic is the bracket or support, second is showing a 790 with a 70 and the third is the tractor I want to buy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ok So I actually found the part. There is some question as to whether the front supports has three or four holes. Serial number begins with 47

FLboy,

I have a 790 w/ 70 and 7. There are brackets for the loader uprights and brackets at the front for the front part of the loader frame. Common config back when I got mine, you might be able to score some from a salvage yard.

The backhoe takes brackets that bolt on the rear of the tractor and bars that link up to the loader brackets. Again, common config back then though backhoes are far less common that loaders. I'm not home now but could post any photos you would like to have.

Instead of "brackets", search for "mounts"?

Hey Rob! Thanks. I actually found the mounts OEM for sale, the only catch is the front mount (bracket) they are asking me if it has 3 or 4 bolt holes..the serial starts with 47 so the tractor is a latter half of 2000 build year according to the tractordata.com info. how many holes does yours have and year?
