Hey Johnnydel29,

Thanks!!!

The receiver tube is also wleded to the floor of the box onto to an exisiting peice of 1/4" flat that I think was put there to serve as reinforcement.

That makes sense. Good job and thanks for the information. I'm getting ready to mount my receiver into the box blade sometime this week.

Hey Johnny,

What I was after is the 3pt hookup side of the ballast box.
To see how the 3pt hookups were made on your ballast box.
Thanks.

See attached pics. Sounds like you are planning on building a ballast box. You can get the Cat 1 3PT pins at your dealer or Tractor Supply. You can either bolt or weld them into place. If you decide to weld - chop to where it flares.

Good time to do it - price of scrap steel plate is down in our area.

Thanks,

I'm looking for ideas of the hookup side, that helped a lot. I'm looking at having to build a planter bar in the next month and I'm looking at a couple other things this might help out with.

We are getting a rear set of pallet forks and I'm looking to use one of those wire cage tanks filled for a ballast tank and to carry water.
