Bracket design to put box on weight carrier.

[Sprayer 1]

Has anyone made a bracket for a large box to attach to the weight holder of a mf6480? I'm after ideas to enable me to fix it using the draw bar pin to secure it, so that it can be quickly taken off if I need a tow.
Any ideas welcome , thanks for reading .

No help at the minute, but planning to make a couple the shape of the wafer weights for my Deeres. Was going to plasma cut two end plates that match the hook profile on the weights, probably 8mm steel and then have a bit of flat joining two plates with drawbar pin hole in the middle to locate. Thinner plate to make the boxing. That's my plan anyway.

Sounds good, I keep thinking that I should invest in a plasma cutter.

Have modified a couple of boxes in the past to fit MF frame, just need n shape to hook onto tombstone and a flat plate with hole in it welded to box to line up with pin hole

I would be really greatful if you had a minute to put up a picture of your bracket. I'm not sure whether we need lighter metal along the full length of the block or two hooks of 10mm at each end.

JF Hudson makes various size storage boxes to mount directly on the weight carrier or a front linkage.

There was one of the French front linkage makers at SIMA a few years back made a bracket to replace the standard weight carrier with lift arm hook ends so you could just drop a weight block on. It may have been the Pateer Group but cannot see it on their website.
