Matt, nicely done!

Hmmmm, looks like it could make a nice foundation for a heavy duty "Guard-n-Cart" type hauler. Shouldn't be too hard to build a cargo hauler that just hooks onto that.

Matt, why the need for the inspector gadget deal? I understand transferring the load to the ground, but would a receiver type hitch bolted to the tractor frame be fine? Are you afraid the front axle won't hold the weight of the trailer? If it can hold the weight of a 2 stage snow blower, surely it can hold a trailer tongue.

Let us know how it works. I'd afraid it will bend that 1/4" steel strap when the wheel is stuck in a whole or ledge and your turning at the same time.

Kraig - Oh Great One Keeper of the Photos - NOPE, don't look off topic to me. I see some "yellar'n white"

Now, does anyone have a pic of their seat tray rubber bumpers on a 106, 107, 126, 127 or even a 147. I know they are bigger and get held on with a small nut and screw. They likely get damaged from using the underseat tool box, where they might keep their Cheez-Whiz.

Doug B - thanks for posting that. Sure looks like something a whole lot easier and quicker to use.
