Nothing special, this was more of a test for posting a thumbnail than anything else.

I had this bracket and weights that were mounted on the front of my TZ25. I kept them when I traded but didn't need anything on the front of my T2220. So, here's version one. Next step will be to spend more time and make something free standing that I can back up to with the T-bar and just pick it up. When the mower isn't on, the T-bar is the primary attachment, so I figured it'd be easier than playing musical pins every time I wanted weight.

Ok, I've asked several times and never gotten an answer from the "pros". How do you attach a picture here and get the small box labeled "thumbnails"?

When your replying to a thread.-Go down the page and you will see "Manage Attachments," and click that box.

Then it will open up another page.- "click browse," and it will open up "pictures on your computer."- When you find the picture you want to post, Then "click open."- Then the last step is to hit "upload" on the right side of the page.

Hope that helps.- If it doesn't, send me a PM.

Oh, "The Mods" will probably move this thread.:D

Excellent, Thank you!

Now back to crawling into a triangular space 24"wx36"tx32 feet long, with drain pipes, installing more insulation. Maybe I shoulda done this before the knee wall was in, instead of three years after the fact? Argh!

I don't know what you are planning on doing with that grab hook welded on near your top link, but if you hook a chain to it and pull on anything, you might find your tractor laying on its back.

The correct place to make a hard pull is by attaching to the drawbar you have right down next to the ground, with a clevis.

That's the nice thing about an HST..... instant response if the time comes. I use it for dragging timber and twitching logs. It's in low range, so ground speed is pretty slow. Yeah, I know the "don't do that" side of things, but am on guard for fetching up. It'd be impossible to move some of the stuff I've moved using the drawbar (below axle height) because it would dig in.

It's funny this was posted... I'm working on something similar right now. I bought 6 90# IH suitcase weights and a front bracket off an 806. In the process of getting all the weghts painted up at the moment. I still have to weld up the mounting for the three point hitch, but it's well on it's way. I think what you did there is pretty smart.
