[ricktrue]

Anyone know who made the 756B backhoe attachment for Ford. Used on ford 1220 tractor. Mine has an 18” bucket and I want to fine a 6-8” that will fit. Pin size is 1”.

Found this pretty quick, but there should be several "out there".

Thanks. I can’t see any dimensions listed and when I called Titan the other day they said they didn’t have anything that would work, meaning fit.

FAQ:

• 
  Can I use this bucket with my own equipment?
  ​

  
  These buckets will work with equipment that has compatible pin spacing.
  
  Pin Diameter 1.5", Center of top pin to 1st hole 6.25", Center of top pin to 2nd hole 8.375", Inside of tabs at top pin 4.375", Inside of tabs at bottom pins 3.625".

Maybe use a bushing, for your 1" pin, theirs shows 1.5"?

I used to be a dealer, but if you look at the parts book for a 756B you will find the part number prefix is ARP, meaning ARPS, now Ameriquip, made the backhoe for Ford. I don't know which model ARPS or Deere it was though, but could be figured out by looking at the smallest backhoe models offered by them.
Also, they made 16" buckets, but not 18".

Schwartz loaders were on Ford tractors for a long time. Their part number prefix was SML. Your loader on your tractor is probably a Schwartz/SML

What a wealth of information you are. Fantastic!
I bought my first tractor in ‘92. Ford 1620. Went to the dealer to buy a 1220. He had a 1620 which he said he would sell me at the price of a 1220 which he couldn’t get for a few months. Bought it with the loader and 60” mid mount mower. Love the tractor which has had a few battery replacements but that’s it. Always wanted a 1220 and now own 3 one tlb and two 1620’ one a tlb. I bought a kubota 2601 for its front snowblower and as far as im concerned it doesn’t hold a candle to the quality of the older Fords. Oh well.

The 756B backhoe was manufactured by Ford, a brand that was later acquired by New Holland, and is part of the Ford backhoe series for 1000 series tractors.
