Hi:
Has anyone got a line on a set of tractor frame brackets for a Branson 9620 backhoe, (not the three point hitch mounting version). About a year ago I had my Branson 5530C stolen. At the time, my 9620 backhoe was attached and the thieves, apparently, weren't smart enough lift and fold the backhoe's arm, I always bury the bucket tines to make theft a bit tougher. Unfortunately, or not, they did figure out how to knock the pins out of the frame and drag the backhoe off on the ground. Well, I replaced the 5530C with a 6640C, which has the same frame as the previous tractor, but, lo and behold, they have gone back to mounting the backhoe on the 3 point hitch and I can't find a set of the brackets that were stolen with the 5530C. I am pretty sure that mounting a full size backhoe on a class II hitch is a sure way to tare up the hitch. The only brackets that I have had a lead on were in a dealers warehouse and he wanted more than the backhoe cost. So, I am still looking for the two heavy brackets that bolt on to the tractor's frame.
thanks,
