By JoeG (208.22.189.151) on Wednesday, March 13, 2002 - 11:52 am: I recently purchased a Sherman backhoe from off of a Ford 9N tractor, owner said it was originally built for the Ford tractor, but that when it was on you really knew it was behind you, it seems awfully heavy for such a small tractor. Has 6 levers for control, hydraulic stabilizers, and a Prince PTO pump with it's own reservior on board.
I also purchased the backhoe attachment off of a Case 420 backhoe, it says 420 right on the boom, has pedal swing, hydraulic stabilizers, and two buckets, missing some pins.
I would like info on either or both of these items if possible. I will be able to get pictures Sunday if this would help anyone. Thanks in advance.

I KNOW A GUY THAT HAS ONE AND I WAS TRYING TO GET IT FOR MY FORD 9N. MOSTLY FOR SHOW BUT I WILL USE IT FOR SOME DIGGING.
THANKS
