the showman 4,074 #1 Posted September 6, 2018 I've got a Wheelhorse rear bracket to attach a dozer blade or tiller to the tractor but need another one but they are hard to find so I thought I'd make a copy. Start with a bit of quarter plate bent to shape, make a template from cardboard and drill some holes and a few square ones. I was lucky to have an old mount from a 265 to nick a couple of bits from Just needs a coat of paint when I get time 6 Stormin, Triumph66, HeadExam and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #2 Posted September 7, 2018 Nice work! I made one for the C-125 some years back. Slightly different in that the cross bar is 3/4 angle and the levers I had to make. No bracket for a spring though. How many do you think we could produce when I'm down next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The filing work is a zen exercise, while your doing it you try to tune the mind and body into harmony 1 Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quickrack 0 #12 Posted October 6, 2018 Help the uninitiated and take a photo of what it mounts on and what you attach with it please. Neat bit of fab though. I don't know if it helps but for a square hole, I drill each corner with a small bit, off set for half the thickness of the bit, before drilling out the middle. Cuts the filing back a bit.
