Brackets for mounting a backhoe on a T180

[bobbie-g]

I have an old non-Bobcat backhoe. I've made a Bobtach plate for it and use it with my 751, works quite nicely. My 751 had the ball-mounts for a 907 backhoe when I got it, and I added some ball hitches on swinging arms to the backhoe to stabilize it. Works really slick and mounts up in about 3 minutes. I'd like to use it with my T180, but haven't yet been able to find the ball-mount brackets from Bobcat. Anyone know how to get the hitch balls mounted on the T180? I'm thinking of just drilling a couple of holes in the frame of the T180 (I don't have a door) and mounting the balls there. I'd have to rework the backhoe arms, but that's fairly simple. Ideas? ---RC
