My First Welding Project

I finally bought a welder (Lincoln 225 AC) and this is my first project. My Farmall C was born without a three point hitch so I made this jib crane that mounts to the touch control lift arm for the plow.

I had some help from my buddy who is an experienced welder and retired engineer from Cummins.

Comments and suggestions welcome. This is also my first attempt at uploading pictures.

Thanks for looking- DaveK

Looks great Dave.
If you've got all your testing/fitting done I would take the time to clean
it up, primer and paint it to keep it from rusting.
 
Dave; Ahhhh,The "Tombstone" welder!!! I"m sure there will be a lot of other projects in the making. I made one yrs ago for my 971 Ford. I hauled a LOT of oak up to the stove, with that! Now it's on a 5610 Ford. Still going strong! Nice job......AND NICE BARN in the backgrd!!!! Bobmn
 
Nice job.

And I love the barn. Even the geezer guy and the geezer tractor couldn't detract from it. LOL

The nice thing about that kind of project is, if it fails, you just take it back to the shop, grind everything down, and do it over. Nobody the wiser.
 
It looks really good. Square tube is great stuff to work with. One suggestion, it looks like the connection point to the srm might be a weaker place. Maybe a short vertical piece with a rod going over it, anchored a couple feet in front and behind would help avoid future problems, sort of a truss. I used to manufacture carwash machines, seen it done.
 
Naw Royse,
He wouldn't want it less rusty than the tractor would he? :)
Great job Dave. You will be amazed at how often you will use that boom pole. I use mine a lot!
