I picked this Johnny Bucket Jr up for a pretty decent price Sunday. It was on a 149 so he sold it as fitting a wide frame. So I got home and put it on my 1872. It fits with no problem it appears. Front tires are close and I didn't start it up so not sure if they would hit when turning but I think it will be fine. I got to looking at it and decided to try it on my 147. Snapped right it! Sweet! It fits both wide and narrow frames. Outside flat stock on the mount holds it from shifting on the wides and the inside flat stock holds it from shifting on the narrows. I need to make a lift bar for both machines so I couldn't really try it. I tried my snow thrower rod and it worked enough to pick it up to the point its on in the pictures. About 2-3". Got to shove some leaves around. Had a hard time dumping it, lol.

I wanted to put a tilt cylinder on it for the 1872 front auxiliary ports. That would eliminate the rope trip part but we will see I guess.
