Threepoint box blade to pull type conversion.

[countrybumpkin]

Was able to get a little more work done on the conversion, have about 90% of the tongue finished. Have to install the bushings for the lift pins, a second brace on the hitch , and the top link brace mount. Made the hitch swivel 360 and tilt 180 so no binding on uneven ground.

Pivot hitch is nice as is all the fab. What are doing with this ? New house , new yard ? Like it ,now I am inspired . Show us the end results and vids ?

Thanks, I've got to finish the dirt work around my new shop building. Also help with my road maintenance. I haven't worked on it in a couple of days but should get back on it soon.

There is probably a reason why you didn't go with a ball type hitch?

I had thought about one, but didn't want to have to keep putting a ball on and off the draw bar when switching implements.

A bit more progress on the conversion, about all i have left to finish os the tilt cylinder mounts, then clean up and paint.

Very nice, I sent a couple of pictures to my brother who is a pretty good fabricator, he has an extra box scraper and junk metal pile if he ever catches up on his other projects.

I think that was wise to add the piece of truck frame across the back of the BB. It's not designed to handle the loads the tires will now put on it.

Also like the top link setup. You can always add a cylinder there if you see the need. I really think if you hitch it to your 3pt you'll get along fine without one. Also, the farther apart the two "raise" points are the easier the blade will be to control. An inch of lift on your 3pt will raise the blade so little that it'll barely be noticeable. That's a good thing!!!!
