1988 Bolens/Iseki 1502, also Sears GT5000
One of the things I'd planned on doing with this tractor other than snowblowing was turning the garden. I have a single bottom plow and disc for the sleeve hitch on my Sears garden tractor so I figured I could make something.

I have a bunch of 1.5x4 inch 3/16 C channel so I cut a 5 inch piece and a 3 inch piece and welded them together to have one end boxed. I drilled the box end to match the sleeve on the plow, and drilled the other to bolt up to a 3 point trailer hitch I got cheaply.

I finally got a dry day and ran out to try one furrow with it. It works great! The plow polished right up and ran straight. So much nicer than the blatt off the Sears and I don't have to haul the plow up with arm power at the end of a furrow. The Bolens could use a bit more weight, but it got by fine.

I'll get a pic tomorrow when it's light, maybe I'll clean it up and see if I can find the numbers on my rear wheels too.

Sorry for the delay. Here's a pick of the hitch, I think I'm going to add some black pipe to line the holes to save on wear, and maybe shorten it about 2 inches in length so it sticks out less. If I'm using the hitch balls, I just turn the whole thing around.

And a pic of the Bolens with the Craftsman I used to plow with. The extra 700 pounds is nice, as is not having to use my arm to lift things.

Hope those come thru OK, and not at giant attachments...

Looks really good. Where did you get this winch? It would be really nice to have on my bumpy/hilly land, but here in Poland i cannot find it. Is it electric? Or connected to pro front?

And this ROPS looks good. Same story, cannot find it here in Poland. People don't value their lives here :)

The winch is just a cheap electric one I bought from harbor freight to raise a snowplow on the front. I'm still looking at adding hydraulics, but I need to move her out of my wood shed first.
The rops came with it, her former home had a fair hillside the owner mowed. It would be great if it folded, but I think I'm better off with it than without. I added the LED lights to it help during snowblowing/plowing here.
