Quick reference of modifications you'll find in the above-linked thread:
1. Replaced drawbar with fabricated 2" receiver

4. 3-point crossbar modified to accept shackles
5. Foot-actuated differential lock converted to hand-operated lever
6. Truck tire chains on 12-16.5NHS tires
7. Added grab hooks and vertical 2" receiver to off-the-shelf 3-point hitch adapter
8. High-lift boom pole as accessory for 3-point hitch adapter made from fabricated truck bed extender
9. Weld-on grab hooks for loader bucket with gussets tying back to quick-attach brackets for support
