Does anyone have any information on what would be the proper backhoe attachment I should be keeping my eyes open for a 1957 420c. pictures would be excellent!
I am not just looking for one that fits but the one I could of gotten if I was buying this new as a package in 1957. also a manual or any litature on above mentioned attachment.
thanks,
Bill in old Virginni

Correct hoe would a #50 or #51. I doubt you will ever find the mounthing brackets and all of the other assorted pieces that go along with putting one of them on a 420. Even if you did, you would hate it. A 440 is unstable at best with a hoe on it, and 420 would be almost scary, not to mention the increased stress on final drives and such.

well its not like I would use it for anything other then planting a tree or 2 on my lot.
But wasn't it an option you could get from John Deere?
Surely they would never have sent one down the road in something that was dangerous.
