I've been looking and I have a front loader plow that goes on the bobtach now, and I want to make it to a frame mount now. I will be taking the loader off. I have a Bobcat CT235, so if you have any pictures of your setup It would really help my build. This is an 7 1/2 western I will be putting on. Thank you!

I built a frame mount for my JD 4300 that works great.
This what you have in mind?

Yes very!! Do you have any pictures of the mount itself? Have you had any problems with it?

Here are pics of the mount. It locks into the front mid-mount mower hooks and swings up and with two bolts fastens to the weight bracket. All that needs to be done, but hook up the three Hyd hoses. These pics are pre-final paint and can see the fabrication better.
I originally built a wood mock-up model that was easy to saw, glue, cut up, and re-glue until I felt I had a working model to fab from.

Hey this looks very good! I postponed my build till summer, but this gives me a lot of options on how to make it, I'm going to make hooks for the tractor, then have the front hook in with a pin I think, but I'm going to do what you did with wood, that will be much better than cutting and rewelding everytime it don't fit right

I have a front mount snow blower for my ct235. You have to purchase a quick hitch to attach it to the tractor. I am 99% sure that the same hitch works for the snow blade. You have to remove the brush guard to use it.

I don't want to use bobcats mount, I would rather build my own and keep the brush guard on

I thought you could use bobcats for some ideas on making yours.
