NH TC45DA hooking up woods backhoe.....

[gooffer69]

Well I got the kind that has a subframe, I bolted all the bits under the TC45 today wasn't too hard the manual says to use metric taps to clean the holes I used a pipe cleaner did the job and I got everything tied down. Except there is 2 brackets that go into the 16DL loader mounts, I don't have any documentation on them. it's 4 x 24mm bolts I believe. I bent my breaker bar trying to just move 2 of them on one side. I am not thinking I need monster impact gun, on right side the hydrostatic paddles are also in the way. Any advice real pain to get to, do I need to support the loader while I undo the 4 bolts it seems like the other 2 will do that just fine. Have to run out for some hydraulic fittings also, also will post about backhoe soon as it has 3 hoses I am not sure which is which, 2 will run in a continuous loop.... the last will go back to the rear box in the wheel arch. Not running it off the rear take offs those will be running the grapple / snow plow.... I guess some pictures of this mess would help

Some pictures would really help. I believe you are to leave all bolts a little loose until the backhoe is attached to the tractor so everything lines up and then the bolts get tightened down. You shouldn't be bending the breaker bar to get things to line up. I am installing a Woods BH90 on my tractor and found that the mounting brackets that bolt to the axle are made wrong and I am waiting for new ones from Woods. Hope you don't have the same issue causing you problems.
