Not on a 420 but a 316 which is similar. I used the 322 Weight bracket drawing to make a bracket for my suitcase weights. Also used that same bracket to make a front tote/bruch guard for my '74 112.

I made up a PDF of the mount for the Tote on the 112. I'll attach it here to see what changes I made for the side brackets. Have fun. View attachment JD Weight-Tote Bracket.pdf
I’d go easy on the reach. The balance of a 420 isn’t great. On my 420 with a loader with around 700 lbs ballast I can only pick up about 500 lbs before the rear tires come up. Small changes in how far that load is forward make huge changes in the ballast requirements.
Agreed, I've run a lot of hoisting equipment over the years. My plan was to make a pair of hydraulic stabilizer legs for lifting, then just pull the load close to travel. I'll just have to keep my eye on the front suspension, I would think that will be the weak point. I'll keep my eyes open for wheel weights as well, I do have a weight bar with 6-46's on it.
I've got an extra engine hoist that I was thinking of modifying. If I add a double acting cylinder for the lift, put 2 out riggers on separate cylinders with a splitter valve, then add a couple of snatch blocks and a small electric winch, it should work nicely.
