Ft. tow eye/tie down point for b2620

[wills670]

Here is a Ft. tow eye/tie down point I made for my B2620. After looking at the factory piece on the Ft. of the tractor I came to the conclusion I wanted something stronger and quicker for a place to tie the tractor down while towing on the trailer so I came up with this. I added two pieces inside the factory frame and then made the plate to attach the tow eye to. I also made it where it clears the FEL and just rest flat when not in use.

Nice! That looks solid enough to pickup the whole tractor by

I think you will run out of traction before you will harm that thing. Looks great

Yeah!! Doing something by yourself is most satisfying but also always stronger/bigger/powerfull than needed...

Looks good!!

Thanks for the comments...... I seen the hook at Northern Tool and then built the rest of the stuff to match. At first it was just going to be a flat plate on the ft. until I looked closer at the welds or lack of welds that's when I figured I would add the brackets on the inside to give it a little more support and reduce the possibility of bending the orginial piece of frame.

So yes it kind of got over built just a little. I end up towing the tractor to another place of mine about an hour away to mow about every three weeks so I wanted to make sure I did not have any trouble and make it a little easier to tie onto the trailer.

That's a really nice looking job... Probably be handy for pulling out trees as well.
