Keith, The first email I sent you was rejected because of it being too large. I had attached about 19 pictures of my scoop and blade quick mount on my EGT200. I have now put the pictures at http://www.electricgvan.com/scoopmounting. You should be able to go there and download them. My neighbor and I both EGT 200s. I am the one not waving in picture eg200-1 To get a scoop on my tractor I bought a Sears Scoop on clearance. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07124847000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1. You can see from the pictures that I welded the scoop brackets that normally bolt to the Sears tractor to “Stakes” that fit into the slots in the front of my tractor. I carefully shaped the mounting brackets that normally go on the sears tractor so that they fit under the front of my tractor and fit around areas of the frame so that no bolts or such are required. See DSCN2625, 4102,4103,4104,4105,4107,4108. My blade/scoop mount is held to the tractor with only two pins through the “stakes”. Pictures DSCN2625 shows the “tower” that the front lift belt feeds over. I also bought an extra set of scoop replacement parts mounting brackets and welded them to my old blade. Now I can switch between my blade and scoop with only removing one long pin. I have used this setup for two years plowing snow and hauling as much rock as will fit in the scoop. I have plans on adding electric linier actuators to the scoop so that I do not have to use the long levers that come with it to raise and dump the scoop. Please let me know if you have any problems. Barry Elkin Littleton, NC http://www.electricgvan.com From: Krug ,Jeff A. [mailto:JAKrug eba-d com] Hello Keith I have had the same thought, but have not implemented it. I went as far as measuring the bucket mount in the store and taking pictures to try and figure how to mount it on my under the tractor plow frame.C185 It looked close. I abandoned the project and rented a full sized tractor with buck for 3 days. It would still be nice to have a small bucket. Please post some pictures of what you come up with.
