I found a set of prints online for a 322 weight bracket and that's what I needed to start one for the 316. Nice part is that is will also fit my 1974 112. It's gonna take some noodling as I would like to incorporate the brush guard I made some time back. That I would like to lay down flat also for a tote of sorts. Supposed to rain tomorrow, so I'm open to ideas/suggestions. So far, I have built the outside brackets. I found a pair of spring latches and they should be here Thursday.

Anyways, on to the pics. Here is where the brackets will mount, using the holes with red dots.
I got all the measurement for hole location and cut some 1/4" X 3.4 pieces. I clamped the LH & RH parts together to drill the holes, then beveled where the welds would go. Welded them together, came out pretty flat.
Here's both brackets on the tractor.
And here's the brush guard.
Now to figure out what's needed there and what's needed to use my lead suitcase weights. Also here's a bracket on the 112.
I need to cut clearance for the bolt in behind the bracket, no bolts sticking out on the 316.
