Imagine if you filled them with lead bits!
Imagine what that would cost. Here in PEI. Hehe.

I tried to buy them at a dozen shops. Same story every time, they already have a guy that gets them all.

Years ago I had a bunch of lead ingots that were on the front of our 830. I took them off and scrapped them when I put the loader on it. I wish I would have kept them now!

Oh no, too bad! These are times when all metal is precious. I called a metal recycler in Toronto last year to buy some lead. The price I don't remember but it was high.

I remember thinking I have no use for these I might as well cash them in. If only I could have seen into the future, they would have been perfect on the back of the 446!

I have a thrower that I can put on the MF 12, on the rear. Not a real 3 point on it, but sorta works the same. Manual lift. Son and I made this hook up years ago. The thrower that came with the tractor is suppose to be mounted on the front, like most garden tractors. But because this tractor has the homemade loader on the front, I knew I would never put the thrower on the front ever again. So we mounted a 8 hp motor on the thrower, would like to change it to a 10hp, and hooked up fuel and power from the tractor to run it and power it for starting. Worked good. Fun to use, for a while. Have not put it on in a few years now. I’ll find some pictures of it.

Strangely after mentioning this rear thrower the other day. It left my garage today. Son came over and had the thought of putting it on the rear of the MF 14 tractor. Been sitting there for a few years. So now it may get used.
