3-Pt. Hitch Added To Sears Garden Tractor

3-Pt Hitch Added To Sears Garden Tractor HITCHES “I recently built this 3-pt mounted drawbar for my Sears 12 hp garden tractor It really comes in handy for pulling small wagons and hay rakes ” says Leonard Seltzer Manhattan Ill The tractor was already equipped with a manually-operated 3-pt hitch Seltzer used 1 1/2-in wide 5/8-in thick flat steel to make the drawbar welding a pair of 5/8-in dia steel pins onto each end that mount on the 3-pt ’s lift arms The top part of the drawbar pins onto the 3-pt ’s top link He drilled a hole into a flat piece of metal to make the drawbar hole “I like how it turned out The only problem was the 3-pt dropped down too far ” says Seltzer “To solve the problem I mounted a pair of U-shaped metal ‘stops’ under the lift arms which keeps the drawbar at a normal hookup height and therefore keeps the implement’s tongue about 1 in higher than the original drawbar ” He says he has also made 2 other hitches using this same style one for Cat I implements and the other for Cat II Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Leonard W Seltzer 16040 W Manhattan Rd Manhattan Ill 60442 ph 815 478-3578
