    Hi I thought I could figure some way of bypassing the hard drive caddy but no luck. Wondering if anyone has a caddy for sale with or without hard drive. Thanks

    Welcome to the zoo. I'll take a look in the morning. I MAY have one. Couldn't find it last time I looked but you never know.

    I recently got one of those sweet CF-74s without a HD caddy as well.Will any other model's caddy work?CF-74 caddies seem kinda rare.
    I do wish to buy one is anyone has an extra.(And I can afford it!)

    Your best bet is to call Heartland. You will need the part # for it. The last time I ordered one they were just about $80.00 + $42.00 s/h (to Maine). They only ship next day so you could have it in a couple days

    Heartland WILL DO ground shipping for a better price than overnight air. You just have to ask for it.

    Thanks
