3400 with backhoe

Looking at this field find. My nephew saw it and these are the only pictures I have. It's a Ford 3400 with a backhoe and front blade installed. I would be using it for road maintenance with a blade (front or rear) and with a brush cutter. Question is what kind of backhoe is this and is it removable? I wish I had a picture of the rear, but I do not, so other than going back out there here it is.

I read where some have a different center housing that didn't come with the 3 point and didn't include the internal piping for a three point hitch. Can anybody tell what this is by these pictures? The spider web of hoses make me think it is a Frankenstein add on so the other parts may go on.

I can see that the engine has a hydraulic pump mounted on the side, so it had rear hydraulics and 3-point at least some point in its life, and likely still has. That mess of hoses looks like quite the abortion for sure.
 
Is a Sherman like this picture?

That may lead me to believe it's an add on and the three point is still available.

If the bh is a tube type it is likely an aftermarket add on. And like Bern says, it does have the side pump so would have 3 point. No guarantee it has pto though.
Looks like it's a diesel.
There is a piece of literature on ebay at the link below that shows the style of bh it would have had from the factory.
Those usually had that 6X4 transmission and non live pto if that matters.
Think of it as a 3000 with a much heavier front axle.

That's a Sherman? Looks very much like a later wainroy from the hydraulic tank and swingframe
 
Blue belly industrial tractor, the front blade (if its a Ford blade) would be model 702. The backhoe would be (if its a Ford) would be a 750 model (a real hack job on the backhoe hoses for sure). Need better pictures of the blade, and backhoe.
 
Went and looked at it yesterday. It's a no go. It had a PTO but a center housing without a 3 point capability. It's a straight backhoe. It also looked like it had a flame event around the fuel filter, both power steering cylinders were unhooked and or broken, couldn't move the engine and the front blade was chained on.

For those interested in the 6000s both were in just as bad a shape.
