Raptor SD Rack

Ealier this month I picked up a 15 gallon sprayer with a broad cast wand to spray the 2+ acres of coast Bermuda grass we have. The directions stated that it will spray a 14ft swatch at 36" high. Anyways, armed with a stick of steel, abrasive saw and welder, I built a rack above the engine. Here is the final product minus paint. Still trying to decide if I want to go with Yellow or Black for paint. I built it so I can remove it as need be. It does not get in the way of the air filter, oil filter or throttle cables.

Nice work. I'd go with black.

I have a Hustler Raptor SD 60" and have been searching for some kind of tool attachment/accessory that will allow me to carry a tool bag, pump sprayer, etc. I prefer something that would attach to the back of the mower that would not obstruct the engine. I saw a new Snapper zero turn yesterday that has an attachment like I'm talking about. It looked sort of like a cargo carrier on some customer golf carts. I'll keep looking, but if anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them.

Only problem with fitting racks over the engine is they make removing the blower housing difficult.
So no one bothers to remove the blower housing to clean out the cooling fins, till it's too late..

No problem with the rack as an accessory but it needs to be far enough away as not to block access to the engine for servicing and of course removing the blower housing.
