Re: (ET) Rear bucket?

["Monty McGraw" <mmcgraw74 hotmail com>]

The GE Accessory Brochure shows the front implement mounting bracket on 
page
7 of 8 (www.elec-trak.org website)

The Sleeve Hitch is shown on page 4.

The Oz Bucket uses the Front Implement bracket - which has a large (1"?)
round steel bar to push against.  It uses two large clevis pins - same ones
that are used for the front mower deck - for stability in addition to the
"stabbers".  The Sleeve Hitch has a single hitch attachment in the middle
and doesn't look suitable to attach a bucket..

As far as using the rear electric lift (if you can find one), it likely has
the same limitations as the front lift - real slow for a double purchase
connection.
