Not a woodworking project, but had fun welding and fabricating the mounts for this today to get ready for the snow we're expecting tomorrow.
My dad had it on one of his old cub cadets when I was growning up. He had mentioned that it was sitting on the fence line out at the farm if I wanted it. Has a little rust and a couple of holes to patch, but it was in good shape, especially after a good soaking of penetrating fluid to loosen it up.
The cub cadet used a mount under the tractor, but my JD uses a clip on connection on the front, had to fabricate a couple of brackets for each side, then used some 5/8 cold roll to attach it to the clip. The bottom rod is stationary to the attachment and is welded on, the top rod is inserted through the front and pinned on each end. I welded on a piece of angle iron and used the two ears of the original attachment to connect the plow to the new attachment.
