When I first took the voluntary layoff at work I knew I wouldnt be working much outside because of the cold. Well the last week has been in the 50s!! so I been working on my tractor. Installed my hydraulic selector valves to share one of the stock IH touch controls with the loader bucket dump and the rear hitch. Here's some picture of it installed:
You may be asking why all the funky 45's and 90s. Well I had to work with what I had, which was slightly longer then necessary hydraulic hoses going under the toolbox, and slightly ahorter then necessary hoses from the touch control valve.
After That, I decided to work on my drawbar/3 pt hitch conversion. As some of you recall I wanted to do this...
Well here is the end result..
Here is a closer shot of one. You can see the side gussets, which are 1/4" thick plate.
Here is the gusset underneath, it is 5/16 plate,
It's hard to see the welds. I have been getting alot better at stick welding, better penetration and better looking end results. I've learned to concentrate the arc on the thicker peice of metal, directing the rod more towards it and let it penetrate, then draw in the smaller metal. Sometimes the gun gets in an awkward position and welding become a total pain. It's hard to see in my picture as I havent cleaned them up. The actual box stock is really 2 C-channel peices welded togethr by me. It is 5/16th wall C-channel and should work fine with such a short length. I'm not plowing, just dragging a blade. Instead of using pins like a conventional 3pt, I'm using 1" bolts to facilitate hooking them up without being able to spread the links. The top link will be a heavy duty turnbuckle. Comments are welcome, just dont be too critical, I'm working with what I have. I think its cool having a drawbar and a modified 3 pt in one setup.
