Need 480LL Backhoe Assembly

[bomber44]

I just purchased a Case 480 LL construction king tractor with 800 hrs from the original owner. I would like to put the backhoe attachment on it. I need the entire assembly for a 3 pt hitch. New, used, refurbished acceptable.

Any idea where to start looking? My local Case dealer is useless. I know Case used to make a Kit/add on for this model.

Any help would be appreciated

Rob,

I've got a backhoe version of that tractor (480F). The manual covers both versions. Can't help you with parts - maybe pictures?

Are you going to keep the landscaping attachment?

The 480 LL means it was the landscape loader I think a 480 F or 580 Hoe will bolt onto the back. I have a freind that has a ford industial hoe that he had adapted to a 480LL. I THink he said it was for sale since he bought a newer hoe. he's got it priced at a bargain. Hes gonna just use the 480 for a loader tractor now. I think the 480 has 4bolts to remove the hoe and install a power tilt and down pressure landscape box. Where are you located I may be able to locate one for you.

It may be too late but I saw one yesterday on EBay for 400US.

Sure about the kit? The 480LL were equipped with 3pt, not with hoe- that was 480B, C, D Ithink its a model31 hoe you need and you'll have to probably fab a clamp.
