wicked,
Mower deck..."Rough Draft"
Mounting bracket to attach mower to tractor.
Underside of mower deck getting paint.
Topside getting paint.
Mower mounted to tractor front view.
Mower deck rear view.
I would have prefered to have the mower off the right side of the tractor but didn't want the discharge to go in the pond so it ended up on the left. The pipe welded on the mounting bracket slips over the longer pipe welded on the mower. A 1/2" pin thru the longer pipe above the shorter one keeps it from slipping off and allows the mower to swing behind the tractor for travel thru the woods back to the pond. The silver pipe and chain to the mounting bracket were required due to the weight.
The gas tank had to be mounted higher than the carb as that motor was waaaaay before fuel pumps on small motors. (gravity still works). Hope the pictures and brief explaination were clear enough.
Theo: Thanks for the offer. I already had the linked posts printed out for a long time but just couldn't make the connection work. This may have created a monster...........
