  Is there any frame attachment point that helps take the load off of the transaxle or is it all mounted to the transaxle?

It's integrated with the sub-frame for the loader but the only place that attaches to the frame is the mid Tach A Matic. The rest is attached to the trans but in multiple locations on it. Top, axles and the rear draw bar location.

This is what I did to balance out a two stage blower on my 520H.  It has worked well.  It has 125lbs. of barbell weights and about 30 lbs of hitch weight.

 

Can you post more photos of how you built this bracket? Looking to do the same on my 312. I found a whole box of these weights under my deck, left behind from the previous owner.

I plan to come up with a way to make a bracket that goes into the 2 inch reciever. I fure having the weight put down on the whole trans is way safer then on the standard pin hitch.

As you can see the bolts holding the transmission halves together are rather far apart and the factory hitch puts all of the weight on the right side.  After cracking one case half I won't be adding a lot of weight behind the axle where it can bounce and add dynamic force to the static load.
