Ok, I bought a Babco 13MD 3-point hitch backhoe attachment and would like to use it on the back of my Ford 5600 that has a front end loader attached. My question is should I look for or build a subframe for the rear or will it be ok for occasional use? I certainly don't want to break the tractor in half. Does anyone have any pictures of something like that?

Id agree that you have an 13MD( 13 medium duty), My guess youre looking at a little over 2,000+ lbs, almost all bradcos were mounted on skid steers, some were sub-frame mounted to smaller industrial tractors. This will beat your 3pt hitch to death, I have the 11HD sub+frame mounted on my Ford 345 industrial, it is a heavy, heavy unit and will snatch the tractor around. B7ild a frame to your loader and rear axles instead of beating up the lift cover and arms! If you post a picture of the mounting frame we can ID what mount you have.

Subframe, and occasional use are mutually exclusive unless you can come up with a clever design.
You might get some ideas by going to youtube and searching for "backhoe removal" and/or "removing backhoe." No measurements, but at least some ideas.
