Rob: I had one of these for my 560 and 656 Farmalls. 656 was 3 point and on 560 I used a 2 to 3 point adapter. Before I filled the barrel with concrete I cut three holes, two just the right height for lower links to pick it off the ground. I then put a 3 point cross bar through those holes and through barrel. I then put another hole for a fabricated top link attachment with rebar for concrete cling to. I filled the barrel with concrete keeping my metal parts in place. I put some rebar through the cross bar holes within the barrel. This gave me a 3 point counter weight. It was plenty heavy for those tractors. If I were doing this for a 240, I'd leave the concrete down about 16" from top. Makes a great box for tools, chains, chain saws, etc. Beauty of the 3 point is you can put it on and off quick, plus you can let the weight off tires and hydraulics when tractor is parked.
