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 [Reply]   [No Email]

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. [Reply]  [No Email]

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. [Reply]  [No Email]
