Figured this is more of an attachment. Anywho, I had made a basket for some cast window weights. At 7 lbs. each, takes a few to do any good. I had made an extra pair of my lead suitcase weights and thought this would be a good place to use them.

I've been working on this as I need to take Alice apart and weld in a brace to the main framework. I took the mower mule drive off the other FF/20 as I wanted to make this mount work there.

Started fabrication of some angle iron to fit where the mule drive goes.

With that done, I made up a couple uprights and a 5/8" bar across for the weights to attach to. I made this big enough I can put all 4 on, but at 40 lbs. each, I'll probably stay at 2.

I got the mount finalized this morning and gave it a coat of semi-gloss black. It's drying now and I'll get a pic when it ready to mount.
 
Weights look good, you can add or take away as needed.

BUT what is that round thing sticking out the front? There's 2 of them there.
My tractor doesn't have anything like that. ???

In the grille? That's the exhaust, original to FF's (except someone put small chrome(now rusty) pipes on there.
 
Thanks everyone! Makes a good bumper too!
