mooseman3210 Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 I had an old weight set that was at the house when we bought it so i used some of the parts off it to make some weights for my tractor. Had trouble making brackets . As i don't have a welder so a lot of grinding and hole drilling i was able to come up with this . i think it will work . i used a think piece of tubing to go through the thinner square tubing i was able to stand on the weight and jump up and down and it didn't seem to bend or shift i hope this works for the winter. next year i can take this to my Brother in-laws and do some welding and make it stronger .
Willy Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Just wondering with all the weight back there Are the front wheels still on the ground??:D Looks like it should work real fine.
FastPaul Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Looks good use what you have kicking around good thinking:D:D
joshuaareed Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Awsome, good thinking Dave. How much harder is it to lift the snowblower.
mooseman3210 Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 took the snow blower off to work on the plow . I have that all hooked up and finally got the thing loose so that i can move it. It was rusted real bad . broke my old ball peen hammer in the proses had to get that fixed before i could finish beating it loose. but i now have it working tomorrow i will get the thing all set up to use . Then i can put the snow blower back on . but i think I'm going to take off 1 or two of the weights real heavy . i can still move it with 1 arm but it takes some work .
B-16_IC Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Nice job on the recycling! Things like this are what make me proud to be a tractor nut. :D
Simpleton7016 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Nice work....you can stick an American flag in there now for parades!
comet66 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 And it looks good to, form and function, nice work!
joshuaareed Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 So when are ya gonna put those tire chains on? The snow is a coming. At least you guys don't get as much snow as we do, or so I am told. My house sits right in the path for lake effect right off of Lake Ontario.
mooseman3210 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Posted November 21, 2007 i had the chains on and took them off eariler in the day so i could take this down the road . i put them back on the same night i can take a picture in the morning for ya . have a good night .
