Roller rest on a Comm 12?

[Btackett]

Ok, I found a roller rest and cannot find any instructions on how this fits on a commercial 12 Gravely. I have seen them on the C8/C10 with the different bracket but mine is different.
Is there a bracket kit out there that it mounts with. I want to use my cart and cannot. Also, I don't have a kickstand. Is a seperate bracket used to mount it also?

Here is what mine looks like.

Not an expert for sure but I haven't seen the roller rest used on the later machines, only the L's in conjunction with that type hitch,,, now if you adapted something similar then I suppose it would work on a later machine. The carts on the later machines used the split hitch and the ball to hook up and then there was a bent bar (don't remember proper name) which went from the top hole on the hitch to the cart tongue to keep it from folding up in the middle. Looks like some of the kickstand is there it's the piece that is bolted to the bottom of the engine block,, did someone cut it off? Mine is on the other side of the machine.

I wish I could find a pic of the cart setup to keep it from folding. I have the split hitch on the ball but the previous owner welded the split hitch so it stays on the ball all the time.

The other side of the tractor is the same for the kickstand. It looks the same as the right side that is showing in picture. Is there a C like bracket and the stand rod that bolts to the bottom?

I also saw a stand on some other site that looked like a motorcycle stand that hinged on the bottom. I have never seen one of those either.

thanks.

Here's a link for the "bar". http://www.oldgravelys.net/pdf/Coupler_Strut_Weldment_Kit_IPL_0572.pdf

The bracket for the stand on my Com12 is one piece and is welded to the larger hitch bar, no additional C bracket. http://www.oldgravelys.net/pdf/Com_10A_12_IPL_0872.pdf

Thanks, that helped a lot.

Here is a pic of my welded split hitch. I have another ball but need to find a split hitch for the future.
