Not that these are really suitcase weights, but I didn't feel like starting a new thread when this one covers the same points basically. I made this bracket to fit on the back of my 102 to add weight for plowing snow. The weights are 28 lbs. each and came from an old silo unloader that we were scrapping. I then made the bracket out of scrap steel laying around the farm to attach them to the rear of the tractor by utilizing 6 of the 7 holes that hold the rear cover on. There is also a hole cut out for the oil check/fill plug. with all three weights and the bracket I was able to add about 100 lbs. A piece of wood can be put in as a spacer against the two bolts that hold the weights in to use only two or one of the weights. If a need arrives (as in I acquire a plow) I might make a bracket to put these weights on the front of one of my cubs. Also the cub shown in the pics is just another 102 (not running at the moment) that I used to take measurements for the bracket. It will be put on my 102 up at school for plowing snow if we ever get any.
