Can I add a PTO to a Case 530ck backhoe?

Does anybody know if a PTO and 3 point hitch can be added to a 1964 530ck backhoe. My tractor is in excellent shape, runs great but I really would like the option of using implements. The backhoe looks easy enough to remove. Any help would be appreciated. I did some research and there are parts available but I couldn't find where anybody had made this change to a 530 that came without that option from the factory. I have a non torque converter type transmission. I do have a plate on the back where the PTO goes but I haven't removed it yet. My tractor has no leaks and unless I have to open something I'm not going to.
Thanks,
 
You are going to need a doner tractor to ad the PTO and 3pt. Haveing a dry clutch tractor makes it more feisable, the transition will be labor intensive and cost prohibitive.
Scroll down to Case forum, as this question has been discussed several times, lately.

Thank you for reply. I found a some parts in PA from a parts supplier of vintage tractors. They are very expensive so I thought about looking for my own parts tractor and I'm sure my wife will love having another :) The labor is the easy part...I have fun playing with this thing. I installed a new Diesel motor 4 years ago and have used this to do so much work. I just really want a 3 pt hitch and pto.
 
If your going to buy a donor tractor anyway, why
not just own a second running tractor? Needing 3
point and pto is as good of an excuse as any to
have tractor number two. A 430 diesel is nimble
and easy to operate compared to something with a
loader hanging on it anyway. You'll find you
don't want all that weight when your running
around with a wagon or mowing ditches or running a
sickle mower etc.

True! I didn't think about that. Plus I wouldn't have to go through the hoe drop or the whole change to my already good shape backhoe. Good thought. Thank you.
