So...found a Sherman backhoe attachment for sale. It"s in Pinckney, MI, which is about 2 hours away from me. Hasn"t been used in 15 years, gentleman is only asking $700. Ad says stick length is 7" - 8", he doesn"t know model number or anything like that. Would this be worth pursuing? Are parts available? How heavy might it be? I was thinking of trying to find an excavation company or some such in the seller"s area, maybe for a small fee they would stop by and lift it onto a trailer for me? Or is it light enough that I could do it myself with a couple Hi-Lift jacks and some timbers?
How many hp required to operate it properly? Likely it"s way too big for my 9N; I"m thinking of making it a trailer-mounted unit. I have a spare Jeep 4.0 in the barn with 307011 miles on it, seems like that could power it sufficiently at not much above idle?

It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
