Re: (ET) weight box

[Pieter <pvcl plitch com>]

I too have a weight box - it was used as an add on battery box and to 
counterweight a front end loader.  It has a set of arms that slid into the 
frame rails - like the mower "bumper" does on the front.  There are set 
screws to lock the weight box frame rails in place that screw into the 
weight box rails after installation from the inside - very 
awkward.  However, a prior owner added a tow bar extension to the weight 
box - a piece of pipe that is clamped to the weight box with a U-bolt and 
is pinned to the original hitch with a bolt.  It also serves to secure the 
weight box in place and is more convenient that the set screws.  At the 
back end of the box, the extension has a tongue welded on the pipe.
