Just had a John Deere dealer cost me a lot of money.

The Dealer sold be a backhoe complete.

After taking 2 days off and transporting it 400 miles,
come to find out it was missing $1,500.00 components to attach it to the tractor.

You would think a John Deere Dealer would be able to tell
you what it would take to mount a 1995 John Deere backhoe
on a John Deere 1070 tractor

I can understand your frustration especially if you asked the dealer to include and verify all the components required to install this hoe to your tractor. However.......... this is a big purchase and it is also in my opinion a responsibility that falls in part on the buyer to follow up and verify as well. I would strongly suggest logging on to the JD Parts website and looking up the required parts and printing out the parts diagram so as to make you fully armed with the correct information when you return to the dealer. Otherwise the dealer may have you making a 3rd trip to buy more parts he should have included. The dealer salesman has sold the big ticket item and the rest of the installation parts most salesman could care less about. A sharp salesman would have sat you down with himself AND a knowledgable parts man and/or shop tech to ensure you got all the components you need. "Let the buyer beware". Indeed this is an unfortunate reality although the deal salesman should not have let this happen. Hope you are able to get this all straight. Good luck and count to 1,000 before blowing your top. At least until you get all the parts you need. ;o) ....
