Fabricating a double front weight carrier for John Deere weights.

In this video I fabricate a front linkage mounted weight carrier.

Everything is drawn in CAD first then all the parts are cnc plasma cut. They are designed with tabs on the back to allow for easy assembly.
Once all the parts are cut out, they are cleaned up and the weld areas are ground down to remove and mill scale . The main back plate is welded down to the bench and the other parts are tacked into position.
The whole thing is then fully welded but with a few issues with the welder going into thermal overload.
After the welding is completed, it’s cleaned up, washed off and then painted.
Last job is to make some spacers to bolt the weight carriers onto the the frame. These are made from round bar cut off in the chop saw then squared up and drilled in the lathe.

Thanks for watching.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
