blower and weights adapted

[massey 119]

Finally got this blower adapted. Also shortened a hitch to fit the rear axle and made an insert to hold these JD weights. I poached the wheel weight idea using a 25# plate with a 15# and two 7 1/2 # plates bolted to the 25# plate and bolted it all to the wheels as one piece. So I have about 55# on each wheel and can add another 160# or so the the rear on the hitch. This supplements about 200 # of me.

NICE work!

Is the blower a Kubota two stage?

Just curious of the make, but it looks impressive in front of your Horse!

I really like your rear receiver hitch & suitcase weight bracket.

Probably one of the cleanest I've seen

Any thoughts on welding some of those up & selling them? :ychain:

Very impressive adaptation! WOW!

I assume you'll ultimately paint everything WH RED?????

Q: Is that trailer hitch receiver a modified Reese hitch or what did you use?

:ychain: Very sweet!!

Rollerman,

It's probably an MTD or something, it was sold by Arnold Corp. in Shelby Ohio. The model # is 190-831 the manual says it's 45". That was some scraps laying around, unfortunately, I don't have access to that dropoff bin anymore.

Dresden Guy,

That is a reese hitch form a Jeep my buddy wasn't using anymore, and come spring, everything is going to be red for sure.

Thanks for the compliments and ideas.

nice tractor and nice fab jobs there,i too put a reese on my 308 a while ago,its really handy to be able to put any thing on the hitch,i bought some 2 inch tube and made a few hitches,and also one that replicates the original hitch for my wagon

Cool beans!

I hope to someday, not too far in the future, fall into a similar project putting a 2-stage on the D. I'd prefer a Wheel Horse 2-stage, but will use whatever I can find CHEAP!

Great work! Nice and clean. Great adaption, and use of the suitcase weights.

Very nice work.. I have pretty much the same blower sitting here in my yard, Mine is made by Honda, I was going to mount it on cub wide frame... but now looking at your set up I have a WH-141 sitting here not doing anything , I think I'm going to Fab it up and mount in there instead... Thanx for putting up the photos...
