Scoop tote on front of my 149
I found a cat 0 scoop tote on craigs list and reconditioned it, used a snowblower mount and fabricated the lift arm bracket and winch mount. Tell me what you guys think, do I need to reinforce the frame? Its attached to the front of the tractor with 2" angle and 1/2" gr8 bolts with a 3/8" backer plate and welded to the snowblower mount plate on the bottom. I tested it today and seems to work well, I plan on using my tiller for weight when Im scooping dirt. I am wondering about the frame rails and the strength of the frame at the frankenstien bolts. any thoughts?

I've been thinking about building something similar but using the hydraulic lift on the tractor and having a ram hooked to the front ports for the dump.

Cool looking unit! I wouldn't think it would be too much stress on the frame or Frankenstein bolts, but I'm sure others would have a better idea than me.

That's pretty slick! I've daydreamed about doing something similar for fun, but I've got access to full size tractors and haven't figured out how to make it a 'need' yet.
Those front ends are pretty tough, but I think in an ideal world you'd have a support going from the bottom of the snowblower mounting plate back to the footrest supports like the front blade attachment system uses. That would make it much more durable in my opinion; you'd be able to use more speed and force loading the bucket before tearing the machine up. Just my two cents; have fun!

After testing
Thanks for the kind words and advice, I have been testing it some and the bucket works great - very useful! I did find a weak spot in my tractor though. The starter generator needed a rebuild as it wasnt charging very good and I ran my battery down using the winch. It had been getting weak over time and turning over very slow. Works great now though and I am sure it will cold start much easier - (spins fast)!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
