Wheelhorse Rear Bracket

Recommended Posts

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

Nice work! :thumbs:

 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? :D

Superb! looks like my copy, must've made about 5 now. 

The square holes are not fun to file!

Really nice work. The filing work is a zen exercise, while your doing it you try to tune the mind and body into harmony

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.
