I just sold mine and am a long way off. Broken Tractor in Louisiana has a fair bit of JD stuff. JWB Contracting and pondhogvt (posters on this site) might be worth contacting and Twin Deere in Edmonton Alberta Canada probably has one as well.

I'm all out of older 450 backhoe brackets. I'm in need of a couple right now. May have to fabricate a set before spring if I can't come across some. Have a customer that would like a hoe installed on a 450E long track that we are going to rebuild this winter.

thank you for the responses thus far. I've checked a few of the east coast salvage yards and have gotten shrugs thus far I'm afraid. JWB, if you decide to fab the brackets, would it be possible to get dimensional drawings from you on them? I've looked at some of your mods and I like your style.
