You talking where the center link hook up at the tractor or where??

Is this what you are looking for ?

Maybe something here:

Have to cut and paste.

There is one diminution left out is distance from lower pin to top link pin. May not make difference on that but does on moldboard.

Weldon, that drawing is what I'm looking for. This space where the top link hooks to the top portion of the implement three point is what I was looking for. This seems to be the holy grail for dimensions.

Here you go, all the dimensions you need. That dimension from the center of the lower pin to the center of the hole for the toplink is critical, if it's wrong, the front will raise faster than the back or vise-versa.

Thanks Dave. I've got that one squirreled away for later use.

Thanks Dave, good help. This tells me that I need 7/16: thick stock when I get to building this. Thanks guys for the good help.

I have two extra plastic layers, one homemade and one a holland. Just bought a new raised bed layer from Nolts for $1800. Very sturdy yet compact enough for use in high tunnels. Cheaper than some I've seen. Too bad you are not close to southwest Indiana, I would sell you one for a good deal.

Thanks for the dimensions.

Got a home built carryall from an auction, mast height is waaay too tall, the carryall is seldom level.

Time to start cutting/welding.

I just fabricated a removable top link mast using Cat 2 dimensions and geometry, for adapting a set of Woods Du-Al universal fit non quick tatch mount forks, so I could mount them on the 3 point hitch on my ford 4630. I used the 22" dimension from the center of lower lift pins to center of top link pin. As configured and literally the first time I mounted them, this layout worked perfectly, without even having to adjust the top link from the last implement. It worked out so that when lowered you can pick a pallet or whatever it is, when raised, it tilts back nicely at a certain point, with a level spot in between. I am really pleased with the layout and spent some time fussing on it prior to. Just thought I'd pass that along given your comment about the carry all. Also be sure to keep the holes centered, both lift pin and top link pin, in the same plane.
