My dad has one ......it aint for hard diggin but they do pretty good

I've seen this set up for front forks/loaders and backhoe attachments... but not for an 8N. But, I'll bet that someone made one over the past 70 years of that tractors life.

I've never seen or used them with anything more than a shredder.

Don't know what project you need this for but a real backhoe or even one a those Miny Mite small backhoes will do as much in a day as you would do with this 8N in a week. Just rent one and be done with it. This wouldn't be any cheap venture even if you built the system to find an attachment for your tractor.

nothing particular. i just bought a nice low trailer. thought if i had a back hoe to go on it i might be able to pick up some work in my spare time.
