Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

I appreciate that, it will inspire me to build mine.

Looks great. I don’t have any rear attachments for my 446. But would still be neat to have a weight set up on the front. For display and parades.
But really Bob, using John Deere weights. !!!!!
Just fooling with ya. Looks good. Paint colour matched nice.

I agree, very nice Bob.
I've been wanting to build something that I can vary the weight and also hang on my mule bracket when I have the Hydra vac on. I guess I could do like Bob's as the mule for the AHRM doesn't have any pulleys and could be ran for 3pt work.
Rambled myself right into the solution.

I too have no shame using jd weights. but as soon as I getting a chance they'll get painted.

I kinda thought those were JD weights. Tsk tsk, Eugen. You should know better.


Noel

I ran 418 lbs on the front of my 442 a while back, to maximize the lift capacity of my three point.

I wouldn't want to do it all the time, but it worked for what I needed. Anything under two or three hundred pounds would surely be fine.

Nicely done Bob . Clean and efficient .

@Eugen the 2 pic.s of Bob weight bracket with measurements would be a nice addition to the how to manuals for future reference .

Noel and Eugen - I know, I know. Yes John Deere weights. Here are the JD H78062 Combine Weights on the back wheels, sand blasted, primered and painted Power Red.

@DavidBarkey Makes sense, I'll add the two pictures to our library, unless @BobAfton has other drawings or a "how to" document?

I suppose the measurements of Bob's front bracket are a custom fit for his own weights, which are a JD product. Other book case weights might have a different width and or height.
