Overview
This is a DIY fabrication log, not a product overview: the owner adapts a Woods backhoe (with a New Holland-style mount) onto his LS XR4145C, since no direct LS mount exists. It covers removing filled tires, custom-welding a bracket to bridge a 2.5-inch frame gap, hose routing mistakes, a mystery hydraulic leak, and real costs (~$4,000 backhoe, $2,400 mount, ~$100 misc). Best for owners wanting to fabricate their own mount, not shoppers wanting a clean demo.
An owner-operator documenting his own trial-and-error project on his personal tractor, including admitted mistakes and unresolved issues.
