Bobcat 506 Backhoe Attachment

[nhoover74]

Anyone know of anywhere to find a used 506 backhoe attachment? I've got a 1995 Bobcat 553 that I use here and there. I need to dig some footings, and rather than rent a mini-ex for a few weeks, I'd rather get some additional use out of my 553. It's not the best solution, but it'll work for my needs. Looked everywhere (CL, eBay, auctions, etc) for a 506 backhoe attachment, and I swear the damn things are like hidden treasure -- there aren't any for sale anywhere I've looked! Thanks for any help you can give.

I've seen a 506 or two a year ago, but nothing recent. Supposedly it fits the 463,553 and S70/100. I'm in California, if you spot one I'd really appreciate it! Anyone have one? Reviews? I see the 709's all over.
