“Made It Myself” Spray Rig

“Made It Myself” Spray Rig SPRAYING Miscellaneous “I got tired of using my 4-gal backpack sprayer so I bought a 15-gal spot sprayer from Northern Tool and mounted it on back of my Simplicity zero-turn riding mower” says Dan Schultz Oswego Ill “The mower has a bagging attachment so I used that as a model to mount the sprayer I used two 3-in pieces of channel iron for the upright portion of the frame cutting a slot in the bottom of each to fit over the attachment point on the mower and drilling holes to fit the pins that lock it to the mower “Then I attached pieces of angle iron to the top of the channel iron so I could lay down a piece of plywood on which I mounted the tank I ran wire from the on-demand spray pump to a switch and then to the battery using alligator clips to connect to the battery “It worked great as a spot sprayer but then I decided I also wanted a boom I just added some L-shaped braces to the channel iron uprights then used muffler clamps to affix a piece of 3/4 –in pvc to the braces I plumbed a ‘Y’ into the top of the tank to allow use of the spray wand and boom which each have their own shut-off control Then I used regular sprayer parts to mount nozzles on the pvc boom ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dan Schultz 32 Boat Lane Oswego Ill 60543 630 408-5719; danshultz1946@att net
