Bobcat Backhoe Brackets needed

[Schifference]

Looking for used backhoe mount kit.
Individual part numbers are 6539675 & 6539678.

This is a disheartening situation.
I just recently purchased this backhoe and guy had it on a 773F. I got the brackets and didn't think anything about it until today. The brackets I have are stamped 6538707. Guy I got unit from said he didn't need to drill any holes. My 773G has no holes where these brackets would need to go and if they were mounted the way I perceive they should go, they would be too wide to accept the 709.

Bobcat sent me a PDF that showed that 773G used 6539675 & 6539678 part numbers. That same PDF indicates that 6538707 doesn't fit a 773.

When I was on the phone with bobcat and she gave me the numbers I asked her if G made a difference or the serial number and she said no.

I do know that the 773F and 773G have completely different lift arms. This would tell me that the frames are most likely different also.

I included a page from the parts page but you should go to it and enter your serial number and then search "backhoe" to find the proper brackets:

Bobcat Parts Catalog - Find Diagrams for Your Equipment - Bobcat Company

Locate all parts and component information about your Bobcat equipment with detailed visual diagrams and illustrations with parts numbers and add to your list.

Worst case, they still sell these at Bobcat.

I spoke with Bobcat yesterday and they said they no longer carry the brackets. They gave me the numbers I listed along with a PDF. I am glad you chimed in because your numbers are different and your picture looks more like what would work. I do not know. Obviously I would like to locate the proper brackets. Please see PDF from Bobcat. Furthermore they said it didn't matter if it was a G or not and said serial number didn't matter. Obviously these are not cheap or easy to locate so I would prefer getting/locating the proper ones.

I spoke with bobcat again this morning and their catalog references what you and I think are the wrong brackets. They are very friendly and willing to pass along PDF's and try to help. What this guy said was that the item you recommend is a lift kit. He says it is not identified as a mounting bracket for the 709. He said there are only so many mounting brackets for 709 and suggested that maybe I am looking for kit #7101325. He sent along mounting instructions PDF. He says this item is available from Bobcat but doesn't specify that it fits 773G. Please note I am grateful for your input. I just want to make sure I am seeking mounting brackets that will work. Please look at PDF. Thanks!

Yeah, not only do the machines vary but also the backhoes. There was just a posting on here where the machine actually had two sets of brackets on it. The brackets were for two different backhoes.

One thing is that Bobcat has a 30 day return policy as long as you don't scuff up the parts.

You can't try to compare the frames of the G and F in the parts catalog. Just enter the "model" and look at the older serial numbered schematics. The schematics are kinda small and not real detailed though.

Here is a photo of the F with a 709. Only one I could find.

You may want to look at photos online of the G and F. The frames have obvious differences, like fenders.

Here is a video with the 773G brackets:

You wouldn't happen to still have the brackets for the 773F would you? I need some. Thanks
