ebinmaine 75,633 #2 Posted 3 hours ago Good thoughts. I've used the generic hardware and metal shapes for various brackets around the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 1,784 #3 Posted 2 hours ago My chipper shredder attachment I rigged up, uses a garage door lift arm as part of the idler pulley setup. It also uses a bracket from an old snowblower as the attachment. I love repurposing parts from their intended use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
