thanks, yeah mine's pretty much exactly the same as yours but I think I have the wider drum. I'll have to check. When I first measured it looked like it might be like 1/4-1/2" too big to fit between the frame. I haven't had time to mess with it but I think I'll be able to figure it out, maybe it can hang lower to the gearbox/motor are below the frame rail.

I was planning on cutting out something like what your doing and then just welding that to the frame.
