Have mower, will travel...

I'm heading to GA(700 miles) for a large military meet, at an off road park. Not driving my big trucks, wife wouldn't go then. So I built a carrier on the back of the 5th wheel camper to take mower with me!

I had already replaced the wimpy rear bumper on the camper with a heavy gauge 4in square tubing. Welded on a reese receiver for a cargo carrier, or to tow a trailer, and two eye bolts for safety chains. Old bumper was installed on top of new one, for poop hose storage.

Then installed a cargo carrier. It's rated at 500 pounds, think mower is around 350. But way too small to fit mower on. So I built a carrier for the mower out of old truck frame rails, that sits on top of the rear bumper, and sits on the cargo carrier. Got it all welded and bolted on, then drove tractor on.

Here's a video, and pics.

Too cool! Some of the ga guys will wonder and maybe meet up lol. Great holder, looks tough.

Cool idea I like it!

Nicely done sir! A little bit of paint, and... Voila!

No time for paint! Already rolled 200 miles, over 70 mph. Going to durhamtown off road park, near union point, GA.

Didnt you have "silver bullet" writing on the side of the hood?

Yea, but it got a quick paint job a while back, and never got replaced. Needs painted again, I'm rough on paint jobs.
