B-80 with front weight bracket

Recommended Posts

I got my new front weight bracket on the B-80 yesterday and did some discing in the garden. Big thanks to Squonk, aka Mike in Waterloo , for the bracket. Here are the pics. The B-80 is a bad a## little tractor!

Nice! Are these brackets readily available for purchase on RedSquare? What models do they fit?

Looks good Mike! I have these custom made. Mike's particular one is extra long to fit B's,C's and Blackhoods with the longer hood. Cost is $50.00 plus shipping depending on steel prices. I make nothing on them. I have a retired friend who is a retired welder/fabricator that does them for me.

Would one of those help keep the front end from acting loose and squirelly when I'm going up inclines? Rolled the C-125 over once and don't want to have to cushion the tractor from damage with my body again.

Does anyone still make these weight brackets? I have a 1980 C125 that I would like to pull a plough with and I definitely need some weight in the front.

just my 2 cents but if you are running a tiller in the back you should have some weight hanging off the front also. This bracket would make that easy to do.

That is really a nice set up for front end weights.

This thread is pretty old, and I don't think these are still available. This is what I went with for weight on my B-80.
