Not a bad result from the twisted bracket picture in post 201. It still needed some minor adjustments once bolted on. I got the one side bolted in but the other was out by about 1/8”. I used the 10lbs sledge to nudge it over and get the 3rd hole lined up. I bolted it then nudged it again to get the last hole lined up.
I also pulled off most of the brackets from the rear end that hold the tools. The shovel handle bracket will need a new vertical piece as the original is totally gone. Interestingly the shovel handle bracket, pick axe head bracket and the shovel/pry bar bracket are all the same as Universal Carrier parts. The one even has the CTL number cast into it. I guess when it was a good design why redesign it
