JD 2210 with 210 FEL and Woods BH6000 backhoe. Trying to attach 54C MMM. I have 3 issues that I've identified:
1. the BH has frame rails that run all the way to the front of the tractor and hang down about 1.5" below the main frame of the tractor. The MMM won't slide under those rails unless I jack up the tractor a bit. This is easy to do, using the FEL, but I'm concerned those BH rails will prevent me from raising the mowing deck all the way. Could that be an issue?
2. The mower lift arms appear to be missing entirely. I'm sure I can buy them from my JD dealer, but I don't want to spend the money if this thing isn't going to work anyway.
3. the front hanger bracket doesn't fit. If I beat on it a bit with a sledge, I can probably get the hanger bar onto the front of the tractor, but the lock pin won't reach any pin hole I have on the front of the tractor. Could that be due to the beefed up bumper/brush guard that's part of the FEL assembly?
Please help! I thought I got a pretty good price on the mower deck, but if I can't get it to work, it's not a good deal...
