Kent Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Saw this front counterweight on eBay, and it has a part that I don't recognize. What's the long curved bracket/rod shown on the left? [img]http://i9.ebayimg.com/02/i/03/54/d7/4c_1_b.JPG[/img] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=82242&item=4354917084&rd=1 I havt two front counterweights, but I don't recognize this piece, nor do I have one of them...
RedbarnRick Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Looks like it would be an alternate lift arm for more leverage cant seem to find an application where it shows though.
D-17_Dave Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I also see an extra bracket or something on the left side attachment arm. Is that possibly where the mystery bracket attaches?
boox Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Kent, I was just looking at the parts manual for a B112 i just gor ant it shows a link to the right side lift attached to the front weight. tri3d to copy it but it isn't working boox
boox Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 here's the link, I apologize for the spelling in my 1st post..it's on page 40 at the bottom http://www.simplicitytechpubs.com/6767PRINT/PDF_files/TP_100_1301_00_SV_S.pdf boox
Kent Posted February 6, 2005 Author Posted February 6, 2005 I see that, boox... That's how mine attach. But I have no idea what this extra bracket and curved rod/bar are...
Bill8203 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I have the same counter weight that came with my B 212 and I mounted it on the front end when I used the tiller attachment on the back. I have no Idea what the curved bracket is used for mine did not come with it. I found the counter weight very helpful when I mounted it on the back with the snow plow. I made a big difference when I pushed large amounts snow.
Kent Posted February 9, 2005 Author Posted February 9, 2005 Bill, how do you have that front counterweight mounted on the back? It's hard to tell from this angle...
Bill8203 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Hi Kent: I mounted the counter weight on the ball hitch attachment. I used 2 1/2 X 1/4 X 10 long pieces of steel. Drilled two 1/4 holes in the ball hitch attachment and steel both sides. Drilled two 1/4 in holes on each side on the opposite ends that match the hole pattern of the counter weight and bolted everything together using 1/4 20 X 3/4 bolts. After I mounted this on it made a huge difference when I plow snow. Bill
D-17_Dave Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 That's about as creative as I've seen in awhile. Simple answer's for simple tractors.

VERY creative! Looks like you maybe could even put a "donut" weight on each end now, since it wouldn't interfere with the front axle like it would on the front...
jrichason Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 I think I'm going to give that a try too. Thanks for sharing.
