Transport Box

[CaribooHarry]

My recently purchased Ferguson TEA Twenty-85 is now running well with a new clutch and rebuilt transmission and it is time for it to make itself useful.

I have built a Transport Box closely following the dimensions of Ferguson's original, using readily available materials.

If any of you are interested in a detailed 'how to' I will prepare and post pictures and measurements.

I would appreciate info,I have a rotted wooden platform carry-all, but would like to build something better,thank you.

I build this old box years ago and have used it more than anything else I have for my TO-35.
Works great.
The 3pt hitch dump also works good for us poor boys who do not have a front end loader.

 

[CaribooHarry]

A couple of good ideas. There are so many good ideas. If I didn't have a FEL in the wings waiting to be installed, I would be making a three point dump like yours.

How about some dimensions for the guys who want to make one for themselves.

Let's see more pictures.

I too would appreciate some detail "how to's" on building a transport box. I am getting tired of using a wheelbarrow for my firewood.

Fred that is a great looking 3 point dump. I agree with Cariboo H I also would be interested in some dimensions. Thank You Richard

I would love to see your design.

Here is a link to the one LoneStar Jeff made back when. There is a measured drawing, however the picture links ar gone.

I made one out of a standard Carry-all frame.

I did not build the 3pt dump, it was made in a local shop many years ago. the dumps were used in our community to carry sawdust or light loads.
now all the farmers have small tractors with front end loaders to carry sawdust into the tobacco barns.

if i wanted a dumper, this company sells one that is close.
Northern Tool and EQ.
Carry-On 3-Pt. Hitch Hauler, Model# 803

The carry all platform is 6ft wide and 3ft deep with 2x6 sideboards (all treated wood)
again if you are going to make one the same company sells a 3pt frame to build on.
Howse Carry All Fork — 3-Point, Category 1, Model# CA100

Hopes this helps!

 

[Jeff-oh]

That would be the one.

Thanks for the photo. I have been looking for something of this nature for some time after getting my TEA 20 this fall. I will take your photo to my welder tomorrow.

 

[CaribooHarry]

Finally got some pictures together. Dimensions were taken from the advertisement for the Ferguson box.

Angle iron is bed rail free from "The Parts Dept.", also know as the local dump. had to buy flat bar and bolts.

Much of the fun of having a tractor is building accessories and attachments, so please share you ideas and creations.

Email me if you have any questions.

Harry:

Here's a pic of my transport box replica. I really like the steelwork you designed into yours...looks like it will be stronger than mine.

Though I can't complain about the service I've gotten out of it so far. Max weight it's carried so far is maybe 300#.

Do you have another photo of that dumper or link ? That is pretty cool

Welcome to the forums.

You might not have noticed but this is a thread from 2010 (this site does not lock old threads from replies). Fred Hart has not "Been seen" (logged in) since December of 2011, so it is unlikely you will get an answer.

 

[Trevlan006]

Oops. I saw 2025 feb 4th and thought ok good to go lol.

Thanks for the advice I will check more closely on other posts before replying
