IH Fast hitch to 3-pt conversion - 03/23/2021 08:32 PM
need to modify fh to 3-pt so I can use my 3-pt tiller on the 340 tractor.
one way is to cut prongs off the fh unit and weld the bottom arms to them.
another way would be to cut the latch notch in the inch thick bar and weld the 3-pt balls to it.
third way that might work is to cut the balls off one end of the arms and cut the latch notches in them then add a spacer block to the side of them, since they are half inch thick.
The top link bracket is a piece of cake to make and attach.
Dont need anything like a D-10 Cat. drawbar on this little tractor! Its maybe 30 some hp. and weighs maybe 5 to 6 thousand pound range, and will never be out of first gear with the tiller.
pix. of what I have to work from at this point. --- trying to decide which way to go on this.
