B accessories

   Made a couple add-ons over the weekend.  The receiver is kind of overkill, but it was hatched from the idea of using a hitch mount electric winch.  Still need to build that...another project for another day.  
While the receiver took about half a day, including straigtening the drawbar and fighting some seized mounting pins, the step took 5 minutes and its probably much more useful.  Been meaning to do that for a while.  Hard to tell in the photo but its twisted out at about 45 degrees in plan view.  Even kept it original Allis steel as it was made from an old B-C sickle link arm.  As much as I like the style of the B, it seriously is about the most difficult tractor to get into the seat.  But the step might save a pulled muscle or skinned shin.

	Just a suggestion.....should you ever decide to use the receiver hitch for anything other than mounting a winch, you might want to move the ball closer to the tractor. Being "way out there" is going to make the front end a little light if you have much tongue weight on whatever you are towing. Redrilling the hole in the hitch would allow moving the ball forward some. Again, if you decide to use it for towing, you might want to add drawbar supports like A-C did with their optional A.S.A.E. drawbar attachment. Nice fabrication work!

	Luke, nice job of welding. I have a similar setup and works out great.. Like Brian said, you get the best tongue weight capacity by keeping the ball as close to the rear axle as possible...Keep the tongue weight under 500#... I have not found that to be a real problem with the garden trailers, or even the double axle car trailer .. as long as no car on it !! Listen to Brian about the two straps or all thread from the drawbar, up to the seat braces... That is a necessity when you put DOWN pressure on the hitch ball.

	Like them all, but love the "B"s.

	Good point on the weight, guys. Any towed loads will be pretty minimul. But the vertical straps will be a ideal for the winch. I am a little concerned about twisting, and those will definitely help.
