I actually use a JD 5' Gyramor 205 on a GC1710 for more than just mowing grass... I've taken down 2 and 3" tree/saplings. If your referring to the 3pt arms/linkage it should have been included with the purchase of the tractor. Massey Ferguson/AGCO ships them with each TLB machine. Mine was folded up between the backhoe and the tractor upon delivery.

Here are pictures. I would strongly recommend speaking to the seller and seeing if they have the arms or speaking to a dealer. The setup is a lot more than just the arms with turnbuckles and particular bends to get around your backhoe plates and still function. That said it's about 14 1/2" from tractor pin center to the first sharp bend, about 6 3/4" bend to bend and about 3" final bend to center of the end ball. Top-link is a standard Cat1 limited top-link. The hard part will be the turnbuckle plate and the buckles in the right spot. All told it's pretty tight quarters once you run you PTO shaft in there.
