Default Rear weight bracket/cargo rack
had this weight bracket I made a while back to hold 2 cement blocks for help with plowing snow. This summer I got a FEL 128 so it ended up on it and I've been messing around in the woods with it clearing trails and cutting firewood so i decided i needed somewhere to carry my saw, fuel can, oil, tools, ax etc. So heres what i came up with just painted her up will get it all mounted up tomorrow. let me know what you think

Looks like it should work! That second to last pic it looks like a BBQ grill! Put done burgers on and grill supper while you mow or move dirt!

Looks like a well thought out solution to me.

That's what you think..... till the thing between the loader and the rear bracket decides it wasn't made for that kind of weight.

On the frame? Or did you install larger bearings in the rear axle tubes, maybe larger diameter axles.....
In your pics I don't see 5, or even 4 bolt wheel hubs on front, so your still running on a 3/4" axle shaft. Even if you upgraded to a 1" one, it's still too small for all the weight of a loader with a load on it. How about the front pivot rod on the axle? Is it larger?

As far as I'm concerned, a FEL on a stock GT is just an accident waiting to happen. Just not big enough for that kind of load. SGT.... they are a little better to put one one. If nothing else, longer WB makes a huge difference. I just hope you don't find the weak point when you have 7-800# hanging on the front. It is a tractor, but not a big tractor.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
