Johnny Bucket Mounting Points

Recommended Posts

illinibrew

I recently got a 1980 C85.  It came with a Johnny Bucket Jr. on it.  I started testing it out and the back part of the mount fell and started dragging the ground.  I didn't find what was holding it up onto the frame.  I believe it may have been connected to the mower deck adjustment lever.  The only real mounting point it has at the moment is up in the front.  I tried to take the best pictures I could with it being dark already.  

 

Can anyone point my in a direction of figuring out a mounting point for this.

Never seen one close up. 

Is there a place where the paint is fresh or scratched?

 

Might connect to one side rail of the frame.

There’s an instruction manual in the manuals section. I think it just connects to the rock shaft

If it has the power lift, then your manual lift would stay in the lifted position and the lifting of the bucket controlled by the switch for the actuator

You’re welcome! I have a sleeve hitch bucket like the Johnny bucket that I plan on making a frame like yours and moving it to the front. That manual showed me everything I need to fabricate it
