Mounting a 9300 backhoe
Mounting a 9300 backhoe
Before I get started on my project I’m looking for a little insight. I’ve got a 550G and just bought a 9300 backhoe. First will it work on my dozer? I have rippers can I use those mounts or are they to low? Is there anything I need to do to the hydraulics to make it work. The hoe has 2 bigger lines with quick couplers.

Welcome to the boards.
I don't have a good answer for you. The 550G parts Catalog does not include a backhoe as shown for earlier models. The G series is somewhat different than earlier crawlers. A John Deere brochure on a 550G shows the hoe as optional equipment, but no model number for the hoe. I did find a 9300G backhoe in the parts catalogs online. My guess is that would be the model that actually fits your 550G crawler.
You can use the online parts catalogs to compare the different models. Here is a link to it if you don't have it.

Unless you crawler is a factory hoe capable crawler, I would say no. It is not a function of the J hooks on the back, it is hyd pump flow, diverter, and if your J hooks are braced to take the torque of a backhoe.
