JUSS10 250 #1 Posted June 3, 2011 lot of good deals on CL this weekend, missed a sickle bar for $125, a 953 for $200, i was getting very depressed. saw this little guy pop up for $20, well finally i was first in line. ran out and got it as soon as i could. didn't have the right hitch so i made one that fits into the stock slot hitch on my round hoods. should allow me to use other brinley attachments in the future. works pretty well when hooked up to level out the driveway using the depth control on the tractor. should work well for snow in the winter too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUSS10 250 #5 Posted June 5, 2011 alright, here are some detailed pictures of brinley hitch adapter i made. pretty simple but works great. it starts with a bar of steel thats 3/4" tall, 2" wide, and 6" long (i used three pieces of 1/4" flat stock, this works in a pinch but requires a far bit of grinding to fit in the hitch). at one i drilled a 3/8" hole for the hitch pin. this is 1" in from the end and centered. on the other end i cut a "V" notch (if you are a machinist, i would mill a half moon slot the same diameter of the tubing that is welded in place) The tubing is 7/8" OD with a 5/8" ID (the ID is the important part, since there are tensioner bolts, you could probably get away with black pipe from the hardware store) that is cut to approx 3.5" long and welded in the notch on the block of steel. I then took a piece of 1/4" flat stock 1" wide cut to 4". drilled a 3/8" hole about 3/4" in on each side and welded a nut in place, these are for the tensioner bolts. that piece of flat stock is then welded to the other end of the tubing and you are done! (lots of words, but its really quite simple) here are some more pictures If anyone is interested I could price out materials and knock one out for sale if there is any interest thanks, Justin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
