Hi,
I don't remember the details off the top of my head but I've had to do this a few times with logic board changes, disk changes, anything that changes the MAC address of your computer. It appears that the particular Time Machine backup is sync to a particular MAC address and if you change the MAC address that is recorded in a hidden file associated with the backup folder that the new system will continue to backup as if you were on the previous computer. It does require some Terminal voodoo.
Here is the website that I think was most instructive:
