ebinmaine 75,645 #2 Posted 5 hours ago Good thoughts. I've used the generic hardware and metal shapes for various brackets around the house. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 1,784 #3 Posted 5 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
