Weight bracket for my 100

[Merk]

I've been having problems keeping the front end of my 100 on the ground while plowing. My neighbor ask me if I wanted this weight.

I told myself this would make a nice front end weight for my 100.
I used one of my spare 70/100s to build the weight bracket.

First thing to do was measure and cut 2 pieces of angle iron.

They will bolt to the frame that holds the grill on it.

Next a piece of angle iron was cut and bolted to the weight.

Next thing to do was to center the cross piece on the 2 parts that goes to the frame and drill holes.
Here is the finish weight and weight bracket:

Weight on the front of my 100:

This weighs 30 to 40 pounds.

Can't wait till a plow day to try out.

Looks good Dale that should keep the front shoes on the ground.

Hey, that's really cool! I have to say, I like the look of a suitcase weight, but that looks really good on the front of the cub!

Nice job on the weight Dale. I haven't plowed enough with my 100 to need front weight but I've thought of building a front weight if for nothing more than looks.
