Looking for advice on building a wedge frame for an 1800a. I'm wanting to build it from the axle housings, but I'm wondering if that will work without interfering with the brakes. |

You can always go to out board brakes. That's what I'm doing |

Why not just build a plate for rearend housing and have it bolt on. Easy maint. You will still need to support it there. No advantage to hooking it to housing. |

Like dsreed68 said, build off the front of rearend housing and then build round tube ladder bars to go to rear axles. This will be strong enough to support in case of brakage and also lighter the metal channel frame. Must of the cast rear tractors were built this way 10 years ago. |

If the OP builds it the way he proposes, he eliminates the need for tiebars which are required by some organizations. FWIW, Brad Maibach has built at least for tractor the way the OP has proposed.
