had a couple people ask how i mounted new gen slab weights on my 720 so thought i would share on a new post. i used 5/8" plate to make the adapter. the following text goes along with the pictures with dimensions listed on them.
all distances between bolt holes are center to center. i tapped threads for the bolts that hold the starter weights to the bracket but there is room to use nuts behind the plate if you don't have a 3/4" tap to cut threads with.
the 4 spacers where the starter weights bolt on are 0.6" on mine, if i was doing it over i would make them at least 0.75" up to 1". at 0.6" there is some clearance issues that would be taken care of with a little longer bushing.
the bushing on the tractor side for the center bolt is 0.7" tall and i have 0.26" of washers on the 2 top 5/8" studs between the tractor and plate to get clearance between the plate and front of tractor frame.
i think that should be every detail you need to make your own but if i missed something just ask
