Down side is having to remove the chin panel think they look bad with out it, an early 175 one is the only 100 type one that is close, the proper 65 one uses the top 2 holes in the front bolster and longer bolts + collars where the chin fixes at the sides

Good image thank you

Do we think going in the top pair of holes ,is that the tombstone
Or the pair next to the pivot pin

Mark weston thought that a 175 frame is close and more obtainable ???

The top 2 holes are the ones used. I had the plan to modify a 175 one by cutting the brace pieces enough to fit it with the chin piece still in place , the idea,s on the back burner as the 185 has taken over as ploughing tractor.

Probably bigger and uglier on front of my machine than should be? But she ain't prity anyway just want it abit more stable with the chipper.

I made a tray to hold 5 56lb weights, it bolts through the top 2 holes on the side pads, Unfortunately that Agriline one is for the later 175 which had the same bolster as all the later 4 cyl 100s , having said that the prices some of the old type ones make a new one might be the best bet to start a modification from.
