My newest attachment, carry-all
 

I built a carry-all that attaches to my sleeve hitch. I added hinges and a handle to it so it can be dumped from the seat of the tractor. It comes in very handy for hauling grass clippings and sticks to the burn pile. I had about 200 lbs of sandbags in it the other day and it worked fine for that but the front of the tractor was extremely light. I also welded a piece of pipe to my homemade spring assist as a holder for a 3/4" wrench to adjust the anti-sway bolts on my sleeve hitch as well as the down stop on the lift handle.

Nice fabrication work IHinIN, That's a beefy looking sleeve hitch and lower bracket you made. Looks great :ThumbsUp:

Looks great!

Excellent job, IHinIN! Your carry-all looks great. :beerchug:

looks good, and gives me some ideas!. do you have the dimensions for the front of that- where it attaches to your sleeve hitch adapter.

The hitch piece is a 4.50" long piece of 4" x .25" wall tubing cut lengthwise about 3" wide with a 5/8" hole for the pin. There's a piece of 1/4" plate welded to it that extends down to the bottom of the 1.50" x 2" tubing. There are 2 gussets welded between the 1/4" plate and the bottom of the hitch piece.

I checked and the hitch piece is 2.50" wide, not 3".

Here's a couple close-up pics of the hitch.

Great idea! Nice job.
