Well, I uploaded some pics to the photo page under my user name. They were for a Jacobsen GT12H (about mid 1980's verion), but in theory, the would work on ones from 1972 to my version (Plus the Ford LGT series of the same years...the were clones).
Any how, I fabricated it using some dimentions obtained from an Ebay seller that was kind enough to measure their lift arms.
Here is one...hope I'm not violating the rules of linking the pic w/in it's own system....
The above version is my 2nd prototype...didn't like the first (in my pics if you want to see.)
It's bascially a Cat 1 Limited (using Deere's term)...aka Cat 0 hitch dimentions using Cat 1 ball ends. This perticular one is being shipped to the indvidual who let me borrow the frame parts (where the lifters connect to). I have to measure and copy that for my own use.
Yes, it's unpainted and I don't weld all that well (pretty that is), but my welds hold.
One end of balls are Cat 0, where it connects to the tractor axle, while the implement end is Cat 1. The arms a 1/2"x2" flat that was bent. The "lifers" (I call them) are made out of 3/4" rod, nut, 3/16" tubing, and all thread (grade 8). I'm sure it's over built for a under 19HP tractor....but that's the way I build things.
