Nice find. I would mount the vice to 2 inch bar stock and use the receiver to hold it. You can then use the vice on the back of your truck are any thing that has a 2 inch receiver.

I r.un a frontier 48 behind my bx. It will cut small saplings with ease and easily cut grass that is a few feet tall. I got lucky a few years ago and find a gentlemen that purchased trailer loads of rejected rotary mowers and sold them pretty inexpensive. JD would reject for ugly welds and...
