Backhoe Going to buy a #7 backhoe

[dsmau]

From looking at the backhoe picture, it does not look like it came from a x55 tractor. I know because I have one on my 855 and it does not look like this. You might already have the right subframe

I too have a 750 and actually just purchased a #7 backhoe for it this week. The one I purchased came off of a 955 as well, as far as I can tell the subframe may have to be shortened by about 2” but won’t know for sure until I have the rear brackets on. The front brackets that came off the 955 were bolted on with two u-bolts, I think with a little modifying they can be welded on and work just fine. The rear brackets are being the problem for me, they are completely different than the ones that fit the 750. I haven’t been able to find any specs on the brackets, JD stopped making them in 2000 and really can’t tell me anything about them. If I could find a spec sheet on the brackets with all the measurements I’m sure a friend of mind could make them on his CNC machine. Let me know if you find any specs on them. Thanks

This one is really from a x55 for sure. The subframe is like the other ones I have seen for x55 tractors as opposed to the original poster.
Quick note: Seems like there were also some frame reinforcement brackets for the 750. Take a look at the images on the ebay link I posted in the previous message. Those brackets also show up on the JD parts list.

Yes it is, I took it off myself. The reinforcements brackets don’t go on the 750, they were used on the 70 series. I saw that add on eBay a while back, it’s pick up only. I think the brackets look right but I’m quite sure the subframe is for a 70 series.
Thanks

Sorry it does not help then. Hope you find a way! Keep us posted.

Go to the jdparts site and for the model #7 you can look at the hangers spec'd for the 750 as well as those spec'd for the 955. Gives you a chance to compare the parts for fab'ing your own.
John Deere Parts Catalog

When you pick the model of your tractor on their site it dont refresh to the picture you need. Or dont show a picture at all. Pretty much useless.

I sure would like to have pics of the 7 mounted on a 750.

Keep me posted. I am defiantly interested in what you find.

I got it home yesterday, 12 hours round trip.

Here is another pic of my subframe.

Thanks for the link. Your subframe definitely doesn’t look like the one I took off of the 955 but I’m sure you can modify it to make it work. Here are a few pics I found online when I was researching it.
