At the farm, I have a 24' wheel disc that takes care of any BIG JOBS. At the house I have an old International Harvester #350 wheel disc that's 8'-6" wide. It is for any small jobs. It replaced a cheaper 3-point disc that was going to self-destruct behind my 2440 Deere. It was a 7'-6" light-weight (LMC) pick-up disc that was INTENDED for a 45 HP tractor, and light work. OK, there's where we're at now.... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
I liked the ease of loading the 3-point disc on my trailer. The wheel disc is a load (size-wise) when loaded behind the tractor. It's a good, heavy disc for it's size, but I miss that 3-pointer..... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
After about an hour of measuring, looking, thinking, and talking to myself, I've decided that the old IH wheel disc would be a piece of cake to convert to a 3-pointer. It would loose about 300lbs. in the transition. There are already holes drilled in most of the parts that actually line up with no drilling to bolt together 90% of the conversion. Some of the exsisting hitch will work perfectly as tha "A-frame" of the 3-point hitch top mounting point. A CAT II drawbar will bolt right up to 4 exsisting holes to form the lower link points. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Sounds and looks like an easy task. My only question is.... HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER TRIED SOMETHING LIKE THIS????? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I don't want to ruin a good old disc. I'm as sure as I can be it'll work, but I'd feel better if someone said "I've done that"! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
ANY TAKERS????? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
