| this is mt murray gt16 that i made into my tow tractor origional motor was trashed so i took the motor out of this tractor some of you may remember the weight that i use to try ot keep my front end on the ground so i can steer, its a block of concrete inside some thick black plastic to keep it all toegther. i took it off an old craftsman with a bagger pretty simple to run, winch the front end of the tractor up then i put a chain on the tractor and the top of the boom to take the weight off the winch when im moving them, the chain also has a hook on it to grab the frame of a tractor without a bumper like this one has | |

| i took one of those T fence posts strongest thing for the size, i hooked it on the rear of my truck as soon as i finished building it, lifted the front tires of the tractor off the ground till the winch quit then i jumped on my half ass front bumper to try to break something so i can improve it and she held up. i thought the same thing when i made it but its been fine and i dont even know how many times ive used it for anything and everything around my house | |

| Looks like a very useful tractor! That rear frame should be pretty strong... I made a mini boom-pole out of old pipe & it hasn't bent a bit. | |

| looks like a neat outfit i made a thing that i can tow behind my tractor that you put the front wheels on a bar type thing and i can tow my tractors for short distances only because i don`t really trust it 4 going a long distance for that i would use my trailer | |
