Attachments For IH Cab Garden Tractor

Attachments for IH Cab Garden Tractor TRACTORS Made-It-Myself 17-3-37 I built a number of attachments that work great on my IH Cub garden tractor, including a 1-row cultivator and planter. I made a 3-pt. hitch by hooking two old Ford drawbars on the front housing of the tractor's rear end. I bolted a steel plate onto each side of the back housing of the tractor and used an old truck axle to connect both plates together. I welded two 1-ft. long steel bars onto the truck axle at the same angle. On the left side, I welded on an upright steel bar (about 1 ft. long) so that the tractor lift could be hooked up to it. The bars on the truck axle have two turnbuckles that hook up to each Ford draw-bar lift arm. To make the top link I removed the tractor battery and seat and bolted a steel plate to the tractor, then replaced the seat and battery. I cut off part of an old Lilliston cultivator to make a 1 -row cultivator. A chisel plow shank is bolted onto the center of the cultivator. I can use three different sweeps for it - a 6-in., 2-in., and a 'middlebuster'. By loosening the cultivator I can tlft the outside shanks up out of the ground which allows use of the middle buster only. I also converted an old 6-row Case planter to a 1-row planter and fertilizer box (fertilizer box not shown). I cut off one row unit and mounted a hitch on front. I built a 3-row band spray rig that mounts in front of the tractor . (Bill Wade, RR 4, Box 64, Dayton, Texas 77535
