Ford 1120
I had a leaf vac that was designed to be pulled by a garden tractor (which my farm-raised wife sarcastically says the 1120 is). The exhaust chute was made for the left side of a garden tractor. My mower is an old Woods finishing mower (3 pt mount). I called Woods and they said there was no way to make it work. Since I needed to use a right hand exhaust, I had an adaptor fabricated to mount chute on right side of mower. Then I had to fabricate a plate to hold a ball to pull the leaf vac. It ain’t pretty, but it works. I get about 20-30 loads tightly packed each season.
