Woods BH750-2 modified for sub-frame

[kabong57]

Found a well kept Woods BH 750-2 with 3 pt. mount and PTO pump. Had an easy life on a 1500 series ( 15 HP @ the Draw Bar ) Yanmar. Able to purchase a current sub-frame for my 1532 Massey from local Woods dealer. In the process of modifying the 750 to adapt to the "New" style frame. Had some 1-1/2" OD. x 3/4" ID bushings made to weld inside the Box tube frame to keep from crushing it. The 2 extra holes on the tractor side are to plug weld the bushings in place. The large chamfer on the opposite side will allow a flush weld and a smooth surface for a heavy flanged self locking nut. After final welding and assembly, I will decide if there is need for angle braces from the original center link mounting point on the hoe to the upper edge of the side plates. Should finish the welding first of the week. Will post more pictures with the side frames bolted on.

Good find. I have the same BH. Mines actually a 750-3. Not sure what the difference is. Mine came with a sub frame for another tractor that I adapted to fit my tractor. I've only used it a few times for digging out stumps but it did a great job.

Finished welding the bushings in and did first trial mounting. Needed to make some cut-outs to clear the bolts holding the hyd. reservoir. Have just enough clearance along side the tank. Will shorten the mounting bolts leaving solid shank through all seams . Have a source for some heavier washers and Top-lock flange nuts.
