Homemade 3-pt. Hitch For Farmall M
 ✖  |
"Other add-on 3-pt. hitches for my Farmall M were much too expensive, so I decided to build my own," says Chris Brunswig, Galesburg, Ill. "It was a 9-month challenge to build the first prototype, but after that it was just the machining that took time.
"I originally bought the Farmall as a hobby restoration project. I used it to pull an old homemade water tank, but when I bought a 3-pt. blade, I couldn't use it without adding a hitch.
"Most aftermarket hitches were built too cheap or under-engineered for my liking. Mine is made from 9 ft. of 1-in. barstock and 7 ft. of 4 by 4 angle iron.
"The only part I don't fabricate myself is the Cat. II weld-on ends and Cat. I top links.
"So far I have designed three different 3-pt. hitches, one of which is easy and super cheap to build," he notes. "In the near future I will have blueprints available so people can make their own like I did."
