Torrey,
yes and no.
I sold the 48 backhoe to a friend to install on a 4700. So he has the plates and frame to install the 48 backhoe on a small frame 4300 or 4400 tractor. I called him last night and he is willing to sell them. His name is John and his phone # is 502-921-3576. John is an engineer and is very knowledgeable on John Deere and can answer any question you might have on the installation of the 48 on your small frame 4300. By the way the 48 Backhoe is a great backhoe.
I hope this is some help to you.
Paul

Before you spend a lot of money repairing this machine, I have one more suggestion as a possibility to rule out. I have worked on both a 4300 and 4310 that is the same frame size as your 4100. Both machine where stored outside on a construction site for some time and not inside like I normal do. Both machine over time began to lose pulling power, but engine ran great. One cold day the 4300 just stop moving and just made a whining noise when HST pedal was depressed. I asked my locate John Deere Dealer if they had seen this problem before and if they had any suggestions before I began to attempt a repair, of course by my self. They told me the same thing that the charge pump had gone bad and would have to disassemble the tractor to make that determination. After talking to them for a while, I realized how little they knew about HST,s and how to troubleshoot them. <br>
The John Deere repair manual does a good job of telling you how to troubleshoot with pressure gauges and proper readings. All my readings where fine. After further investigation I found that the brake shaft that come out of the rear housing had corrosion on it and had frozen in the housing, causing the brakes to drag then finally lockup. Get under the tractor where the brake shafts go in to the housings and see if you can move them easily by hand. If they do not move tap them lightly with a hammer in to the released position and try driving the tractor to see if this corrects the problem. If this is the problem you will have to remove the brake housing to polish the shaft and housing bore. I also, had the same problem with my 4310 at about 800Hrs. I am concerned that your fluid could have been incorrectly serviced and that the HST is production Metal. I had one 4300 damage a PTO Clutch and make metal that was discovered in a routing fluid change. HST and PTO worked fine at the time, but I immediately disassembled and repair before any further damage occurred. I can send to pictures of both repairs by e-mail if you would like. Hopefully you can get lucky and will not have to split the tractor to change the charge pump. Good Luck,<br>
