I blew half day Sat. and most all day Sunday (I do the neighborhood) without a cab I would have been miserable. I bought a Craftsman unit many years ago and it does the trick. Doesn't fit well around the legs but that's OK.

I made a receiver hitch and bolted a plate with U bolts to clamp the weight bar on the ball mount and then welded it. The turn buckle mounts to the three point hitch attachment point (I thought it would keep the weights from bouncing)


Now I see, that must be on the GT14. I forgot about the 3 point mount. :thanks

Yup the old GT18 is the snow boss. Had a problem with the governor freezing up this year, so I installed an aluminum foil heat duct from the exhaust pots to the underside of the air cleaner. Next project will be drift breakers.

Here is the C-225 in battle dress. Pushes like a boss with the new tires and 200# of iron on her tail.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.
