I have wanted to do this for 6 months and finally found the time. The weight box was a bunch of steel from the scrap yard. 6" piece of channel and some 1 1/4 x 4 x 26" solid steel bars. I cut the channel to fit, made 2 brackets and bolted them on to the rear loader frame mount. Nestled it in with a jack to clear everything (and left it just a touch below the hydraulic fitting on the bottom)- Tacked and removed. Welded it up and now I have 210lbs low mounted (slightly ahead of the rear axle though). The rear end was just a smidge light when unloading pallets.
While it was in the shop I put together a trailer mover. Things came up and I had to move my trailer around so I didn't finish it off yet- I want to add a couple braces (any other suggestions?). More scrap yard steel and a Receiver tube from Zoro.
