I purchased a set of drawings from Hugh a number of years ago that he put together for building a 3 point lift on a SA. It is coming out GREAT and I expect to have it working today. I"ll post some pictures of it later this evening. I miss Hugh on the discussion board, he was a great resource and an interesting guy.
 
There are a lot of folks on this forum that miss Hugh's contribution to the Farmall folks. I have a large folder full of emails from him that I have kept where we discussed a lot of IHC things off-forum which I read through frequently. He certainly provided a lot of information to us on those off-set Farmalls for sure, Hal.
 
Here is the progress on the one I am making froom his plans. I still have a few more steps, but it is functional at this point.

I remember a series of posts that Hugh launched about bad grammar and poor spelling (on one poor guy). It must have been 10 years ago or so; he had very little tolerance for poor writing. I believe is daughter is or was a teacher. The thread was very amusing.

I would have liked to have seen Hughes posting on that topic. Good spelling is important and with this puter stuph, their is know reason knot to have good speling! That sayed, as 'Hughie' himself stated his "good better half" is a teacher and I believe his daughter is a reading specialist in a school. Hugh would be proud of your workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
 
Yes, the fenders are an integral part of the lift
mechanism on a Super A. They are thicker than on
the A or B models.
 
Thanks for the compliment. I exchanged a few emails
with Hugh after I bought the plans, mostly friendly
chat, he commented once that I was the only person
that bought a set of plans and didn't come back with a
bunch of questions on how to build the unit. His plans
are very detailed and leave little to one's imagination.
