Here are your pics! @Brianator
Not sure if its a homemade one or if its MTD built.
I showed the welds so idk if that would show if its a factory one or not.

Score! Looks factory to me but possibly repaired. A 3 point is always a nice addition to a tractor! My friend leaves his on his Suburban offroader and uses the handle for stabalization on rough terrian.

Made this today! My 3 point arm always rubbed and rattled so I made this!
1969 Sears Suburban 12 "Putt Putt' - Page 2 20230814

Its old rubber hose off of some machinery that I slight and slid it on and zip tied on each side and boom!

Also belt is all adjusted and she's pretty "Dialed." Just tighten her up and bango Putt Putt is 100% Work ready again! She even has a kill wire! No more removing the sparkplug wire and getting nailed in the hand with all of HH120 coil volts of fury!

*If this shouldn't be here please tell me!*
So I have been needing to rebuild Putt Putt's firewood trailer for some time now as the whole axle mount broke off, so I rolled it into the shop.
1969 Sears Suburban 12 "Putt Putt' - Page 2 20230830
1969 Sears Suburban 12 "Putt Putt' - Page 2 20230831
It a Agri-Fab ATV trailer with a 1 inch axle and a pretty robust tongue and balloon tires which are great for the snow!

The problem all began when my wheel bearings locked up and broke my mounts as it must have happened when I was driving. There are pretty bent up and one is cracked. Because of this the back of the bed is not secured to anything so that needs to be fixed as well. So I took the bed off and marked the center of the axle.
1969 Sears Suburban 12 "Putt Putt' - Page 2 20230832

After thinking about it for a while and looking for a solution I found some U-bolts and bent them to be tighter round the axle and drilled holes in my tongue where the OG mount was to mount the axle that way.

This actually worked great! It held the axle very tight and sturdy. I also used some ThreadLocker so it dont come loose.
1969 Sears Suburban 12 "Putt Putt' - Page 2 20230834

Now onto the dumping bed side of things. After seeing that the mounds on the body where still good enough to use I ended up using 2 large eye bolts to hold it down yet let it rotate.

1969 Sears Suburban 12 "Putt Putt' - Page 2 20230836

This also worked good!
1969 Sears Suburban 12 "Putt Putt' - Page 2 20230838

Now that that trailer is done I have another one to work on!
This is my little dump cart. I use this mostly in the summer for chores and things so not to hurt the plastic bed of the wood trailer. I do want to convert it into kinda an offroad/mowverlanding trailer to haul when on rides.
It needs:
New tires. The old ones are plastic wheels but the bearings have blown out on the one side and the plastic ones are real noisy. I want the new tirs to be quite a bit taller as well.
The Dump mechanism needs to be freed up. It kinda stuck right now.
Need to remake the gate of the trailer as well.
Grease up axle when changing tires.
Need to convert to 2 inch ball. Have the stuff to do it just need to get er done.

Haven't worked on this trailer yet I had to work on my 1987 Dodge Dakota.

[adm]I see no issue mentioning stuff in a post maybe two, but if you want to get more extensive, a new topic is best.

I'm not as picky as admins past.   Very Happy
The Dakota is fine.  Some members like to talk cars too.

Should you want to talk more about the Dakota, feel free to start a thread over at:
https://www.atltf.com/f5-off-topic

There is even a casual Daily Driver topic in there you can post, Very Happy
https://www.atltf.com/t5313-daily-driver

If you would like to go more in-depth with the trailer, feel free to write up a topic on it too! We love accessories as well.
https://www.atltf.com/f93-trailers

We love talking about lots of stuff!
