Built a bracket to hold weight and also new tires!!!
 

Got to work a half day today so I decided to play with my welder. I'm a horrible welder and have a crappy Harbor freight flux core welder so it isn't that pretty. The whole thing is made with 1/8" x 1-1/2" angle. It mounts using the sleeve hitch bracket and a bolt through the hitch (need to get a shorter bolt though.)

If it holds up through this winter I'll paint it up.

Also my new 6-12 tires on trailer rims that I got for $100 on epay. Just painted them IH white today so they match the rest of the tractor. My old ags should be sold today so I'm only in these about $50. They are brand new still have the nibs on them.

Looks good to me and the welds look just fine. Any weld that holds up is a good weld, it's not all about the pretty.:beerchug:

The turfs are loaded and I could not make it up the 35-40degree Hill that goes down to where my garden is no matter what speed or angle I tried to hit it at with the turfs. I could with the ags though. With this bucket full of concrete on the back it walks right up it.

Looks good....Paint it!!
While you are at it add a coupe diagonal braces from the rear corners up to the top of your frame for added support and rigidity. The bucket of weight sitting and bouncing around out there puts a lot of stress on those dinky 3/8"bolts. You will be glad you did!!

I had a 6' stick of the angle left over from another project. I'll have to get a piece of flat stock and run it up to the frame. I was thinking the same thing while I was driving it around.
