Default Transmix utility mixer...

This is a stretch for sure but, nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Have old (as in late 50s/very early 60s) utility mixer that was mounted
on old Farmall 560 w/ the two-point connection system and two other
brackets around the rear axles. No longer have the 560; was looking at
trying to rig up a mount for either the JD 4440 or little 955 utility
tractor (or perhaps even just make a fixed platform and and convert it
into essentially a stationary mixer since the cab on the 4440 is in the
way and there's not much of any way to mount the solid shaft to the rear
PTO to hold the weight and the little 955 isn't much more convenient it
appears, but I've not yet totally given it up)


There might be some help here also:

I had stumbled across another link to the same manual the owner of it
had posted in another forum but he's got an old Ford and the rigging
was/is enough different didn't really help w/ the pieces-parts I've got
to play with..._BUT_, at the above link there's also a sales brochure
that shows one mounted on a number of other tractors, one of which _is_
a Farmall 2-pt and I think by blowing it up large enough I have at least
a clue out what they did...

Thanks...I'll post back if it works out as I think from this.

We used this a ton back then, but that was 50+ yr ago and I've no
recollections of mounting details; only of tossing what seemed
innumerable scoops of sand/gravel into it...
